Tired of the bull crap about low cost reliable web hosting?

There are a lot of web hosting services but I only trust about three of them.

Let me explain what I mean about trust.

I won't consider a web hosting solution unless they've been around for at least 5 years and do a considerable amount of business. I don't care about fancy sales pages or cute little websites. Do they have a lot of customers? Do they host a bunch of sites. Period.

I won't consider a web host that does not have at least a 97% uptime guarantee.

I'm going to give you two of the best web hosting companies I've found on the web and then I'm going to tell you why.

The first is SBI ( Site Build It!).

I love SBI and two of my 7 websites use this service. SBI is a lot more than just web hosting. It's really for people who do not want to mess with site design, templates, email set ups, forms, and all the other stuff you have to do when you build your own website. It's also for people or small business companies that want to focus on content. Not site design.

What do you get for their service? How about over 43 different tools to help you build a site that works. Need a ezine or newsletter? SBI can do it. Need forms for site visitors to use on your website? SBI can do. Don't want to mess with submitting your site to the search engines? Let SBI do it with the click of a button. Maybe you need email auto responders to send out a class or instructions. Just write your email and let SBI send it when someone fills out your online form.

So if you want a powerful online building system and not just low cost reliable web hosting, then SBI is the way to go.

Now let's say you don't need any tools. Let's pretend that you are a web pro. You know what you are doing and you want to save money. In other words you're cheap. You want the best deal you can get for your site or maybe you just enjoy pain and doing all this stuff yourself.

I've got the best hosting, cheapest hosting, and most reliable hosting solution for you!

I know what you are thinking. Yea that's what they all say.

Let me ask you a question before you start looking for this kind of service.

How do you define cheap?

Are you just looking to save a buck?

Hey Einstein! Ever head of "you get what you pay for"?

Be careful when you talk about the cheapest web hosting... Maybe you need to think about the cheapest reliable web hosting service.

For example. Did you know that most web hosting providers that charge $4 per month for hosting put your site on a shared server IP address where you can be with another gazzilion websites. Know what that means? You share your IP address with maybe some porn site that gets a million hits a month. Think that might slow down your site server because of overload. Yep. So don't get mad at me when you decide to go to some "cheap butt" provider and your site visitors have to wait 10 minutes for your pages to come up on the screen.

Is it important to get your email. I might think so.

So don't just think about cheap. OK?

With that let me give you my second recommendation. Now this one is for those of you who know what you are doing when it comes to uploading your own pages.

FYI Hosting Scout is one of the best. Why?

It offers a variety of choices. It really is like going to your favorite restaurant and going through and picking what you want to eat. What do they call that? A Buffet I believe.

So if all you need is a one page website and don't mind sharing an IP address for about $4 per month. They have it. Want a dedicated IP address for an additional $2 per month? They've got it. Maybe you've got a giant site with thousands of visitors. FYI Hosting Scout will even sell you a dedicated server. Want to blog and want something that's easy to build? They have it. Maybe you want to just purchase domain names and re-sell them later. No problem. In fact, FYI-Hosting-Scout.com allows you to purchase email accounts if that's all you want.

So there you have it. SBI for those of you like me who are lazy and just want a great program to build and host your website. Then there is FYI Hosting Scout for those of you who are real bright and want some good cheap hosting and other site tools.

Just be sure you know what you want when searching for low cost reliable web hosting.

Until next time...
