Website Hosting Partners
GOOD WEBSITES NEED GOOD HOSTING
I do not offer website hosting or domain name registration services. I’ll provide my partners with referrals to suggested website hosting companies that we work with and have had positive vendor/customer relationships with.
Clients are expected to register for hosting services prior to start of project, and maintain an account that is up-to-date with billing info, and in good standing. Depending on service provider, average website hosting rates run anywhere from $150-200 per year.
A critical component you need to consider is which web host provider is best for your situation. Upon signing up with the provider, you will be locked into a contract with the provider for up to a year or more.
MY WEBSITE HOSTING REQUIREMENTS
With hundreds of web hosting companies offering all kinds of hosting plans and trying to milk their account holders into unnecessary fees, it has become challenging to find balance between price, features, performance and support. On this page you will find a selection of well rounded hosts we recommend based on our dealings with customers hosting accounts, and our day-to-day involvement and communication with their service’s technical support.
Many website hosting providers all pretend to be the same, but not every host is suitable for each website’s needs and performance, and our designing, building, and web management requirements. For these reasons it’s good to be picky and particular about the folks whom we want to work with, and whom I advise you signing up with.
I hope this intro helps you better understand our recommended website hosting options, and why I like working with either of the following providers.
Ultimately, I am the one who will exclusively be working with the website hosting providers. In the event your website breaks or goes down (heaven forbid), I’m your lifeline who works directly with the hosting company to repair and bring it back to life.
What I seek in terms of the requirements are listed below:
- SHARED WEBSITE HOSTING
- CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SUPPORT 24/7
- TRANSPARENCY OF PRODUCT AND SERVICES
- SOFTWARE FEATURES AND OPTIONS
- UNLIMITED EMAIL ACCOUNTS
- WORDPRESS SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY
- APPLICATIONS
- SITE BACKUPS
- WEBSITE FIREWALLS AND SECURITY
- NO CONNING AND SCAMMING WITH ADD-ONS
- AFFORDABLE YEARLY COST
- INCLUDED DOMAIN REGISTRATION
- NO OUTSOURCING OF SERVICE, USA ONLY
- ZERO DOWNTIME
- BACK-END C PANEL ACCESS WITH UNLIMITED FTP’S
We’ve had the most positive client experiences and successful websites with the below hosting companies.
- HostMonster
- BlueHost
- Godaddy
- I-Page
- Anyone who is independent with their own servers and can furnish the bells and whistles I’ll need.
Don’t settle for cheap crap, freeware, or outsourcing. Otherwise your website will operate inconsistently, be horribly slow, and it’ll show like it’s a product of these groups whom partners and I have had lousy experiences with:
- Dot-5 Hosting
- Yahoo Small Business
- Aabaco
- Google hosting
- Network Solutions
- WIX and Freeware
- Any hosting group who outsources to a third world country
Partners and clients who are currently being hosted by any of these groups above at the time of project will be required to transfer-out to a new recommended website hosting partner. These “junk” companies are mostly incompatible with WordPress and other high-end website specs. and requirements.
I hope this intro helps you better understand our recommended website hosting options, and why I like working with either of the following providers.
Your website’s performance and online status is largely a reflection of the hosting company you are signed up with.
WHY DO YOU NEED A WORDPRESS WEBSITE?
WordPress is a versatile, user-friendly content management solution (CMS). Today it is the most powerful and dominant open sourced platform with nearly 60% market share. WordPress is widely regarded as the most search engine friendly, and e-commerce freedom platform available. It has evolved into a well-oiled machine thanks to the robust community of developers and creators like myself supporting it.
In addition to being the best in its class, WordPress is the right content management system for my clients because it is open-source with infinite third-party plugins that enhance and add functionality to your website. It’s also the best for all browser types and visitors.
