Which hosting to choose

Hi all,

I am about to go for a shared hosting account but was wondering if I could get some suggestions from pros and experienced people here at DP.

I am already "very" happy with HostMonster but if you guys have any "good reasons" to make me switch from my current host, please let me know.

I'm shortlisting 4 hosting providers to make things easy:

1. HostMonster
2. HostGator
3. GoDaddy
4. 50Webs

Request: Please only give suggestions on above-mentioned 4 companies. However, your personal experience with any of these hosts would be precious to share.

My site requirements are simple. I normally have few WordPress blogs and static (sometimes semi-static) websites, nothing hi-fi or advance.

Looking forward for some real help.

Thanks for your time.

 

For domain names, I use and like ipower and godaddy.

For server hosting, I like Site5. Good deal and they've done right by us so far.

 

I've been using shared hosting on hostgator for three years. Customer Service are excellent

 

Given your list of four hosts I recommend HostGator followed by HostMonster. I too have been with Hostgator for about 3 years now with no problems.

 

Domains = godaddy.
hosting = hostgator , hostmonster

 

Many people say that Godaddy is good for domains, but not for hosting. As for Hostmonster, it is a Bluehost company, and I'm with Bluehost already for more than 2 years with no problems. So I would stay with Hostmosnter if you are satisfied with them.

 

godaddy for domain, hostgator for hosting. that's all

 

you run a company it self ?

 

No. Why do you think so?

 

well, for hosting its HostGator as you get unlimited bandwidth which will help you, more bandwidth = more site visits possible.
For the domain try GoDaddy or NameCheap.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions mates. However, I am not "convinced" to switch from my current hosting yet, so you all should do better than that; hehehe.

Anyways, I've received few PMs and I would like to mention it "again". Please, only suggest from the four hosting providers I've pointed in my thread.

@Lolakutty: I don't think four months are enough to evaluate the performance, however, thanks and hope it works for you.

 

If you need good support that can solve most of reported issues in a single day, then I'd recommend aSmallOrange.com

If you are a techie and don't need support often, then your list seems ok.

 

Sorry its because I saw this in your signature, well that fine because its hosting comparison site.
