Before I start talking about web hosting and what you should look for, let me say that I host my own sites with Hostgator. So I’m definitely not just “talking the talk”. I actually do use the hosting provider that I sing praises about.

What may be affordable to me may not be affordable to you. Whatever the case may be though, you should look for a company that only charges you about $10 bucks a month for hosting.

Any good webhost company will get great reviews so you should keep that in mind when you are looking for a suitable company to go with. Ask friends and family, other website owners, whoever you can find, if the company you like is a good one or a sham.

Most webmasters will only really be concerned with disk space allotted to them, bandwidth, server uptimes, and databases. You could also throw in the web statistics panel too. These features are what you most likely will be using the most as well, so be sure and get a host that offers them.

We both want the same good service for our site, let’s face it. We want to have a decent price and also have the security and reliability that anyone should expect with a good webhost.

Sticking to the basics is a saying that goes a long way in today’s world. It also rings true when it comes to webhosting. Any fancy features a webhost offers are typically not used by over 99% of people, myself included. Only use what you really need.
