Finding the right host

Have you ever wanted to own a site and don't know which host to pick? Ever read all of those negative host reviews that tell you of how bad a hosting service is? Well, I will not tell you which hosting service is the best, but I will tell you how to choose one... one that is best for you.

What you should do as number one is choose about 5 alternative hosting services that meet your needs and read all of their privacy policies, terms of services and all of that fun stuff. Yeah, that is what I did...

And don't choose a hosting service that says you would get unlimited bandwidth and unlimited disk space as that is a big fat lie that you should not jump into. So don't get excited when you see that advertisement. That just tells of how desperate those hosting service is.

Why they are desperate? Well, they have to use most absurd lies to try to get costumers and the costumers they do get are probably stupid enough to fall for that lie... so that allows the hosting services to do more unruly stuff and cheat money from the costumers.

I actually had my host suggested and recommended by people and so far, I'm happy with my host. They are really honest (so far) and I'm happy.

And you can be happy too, never forget to read the privacy policies, all of the reviews of web hosting services and all that stuff... do your research to get the right web host you need.

I got 10GB with 600GB Bandwidth on a shared hosting for about $9.50 a month. Oh yeah, the prices are another big thing nowadays. You say, why don't get hosting for $4.50 a month? That's cheaper!

Yeah yeah yeah, and get tricked off my money... how dare they say I will get 300GB with 1200GB of bandwidth for only $4.50 a month when a honest hosting server gives 10GB disk space and 600GB bandwidth for $9.50 a month?

Are they trying to insult mine, yours and our intelligence? The weird thing is, some people are greedy enough to fall for it. The 300GB of disk space they "offer" is the total amount of disk space they have and provide for 300 others... so its shared... same goes for bandwidth.

I'll tell you which hosting service I'm using later (Well, blogspot for this blog, I mean for the other site *LOL).

Ah, oh. Almost forgot to mention this. Some hosting services don't support domain registration. Mine didn't so I had to go to a domain registrar and register a domain with them and then point that site towards the hosting servers. The host that I use provided them in a very visible spot and I saw the server list like 10 times I was on their site... and forum... that's good. They are loud and clear.

I had the domain registrar recommended to me as well. godaddy.com <= "blyack don't use them". Well, I heard SO MANY bad reviews on godaddy.com that I don't even want to hear another word about them. I used namecheap.com 9.29 a year to get a domain registered with them not bad and you actually get it registered and available in minutes... easy as that.

To point the site from that domain registrar all you have to do is click on the option "Point site towards..." something like that don't remember, but it's pretty self-explainatory. You get 5 fields (2 of them are required) and in all of those fields you put in the host's servers (I put all 4 that were found on my host's site).

In total, I payed $9.50 for the host and $9.29 for the domain... good luck for all of you looking for a domain host/registrar... I'll put my host up here later on after I give it a thorough and honest review...

(Okay, sneak peak at my review)

* Costumer support is ubber-super FAST *zoom*, honest, straightforward (Remember I said something about their forum?) and did I mention fast, honest and straightforward? So far, I'm happy with it
