Comments from our visitors Peter V. : " I've tried the the expert
plan at IX Hosting ($3.95/month) but soon I needed a SQL-database
for my forum but John S. : " The affordable rates at Startlogic have made my web site being long term a reality/possibility. I appreciate Startlogic's extra options such as Web Stats and plan on looking into other new features that are on the way." Hugh F. : " Globat.com has made it easy for me to be online with a basic site. I have been able to work on my site fluently since signing on with Globat.com. When I called for help to your 24 hour service line, I received a friendly and knowledgeable technical service person who answered my questions about the server." Jeff K. : " After a disappointing
experience with a bad performing webhostingaccount I've signed up with Hostgator. Tell us what you think! Email to comments[at]webhosting-top10.com
Globat offers some of, if not the highest quotas in
the entire web hosting industry for the price. Their featured plan offers 1,000GB of
storage, or an entire Terabyte of data storage! They don't stop with quotas however, as
they also offer dozens of account add-ons and site functionality scripts and programs,
such as PHP, MySQL, Perl and CGI. If your site requires multimedia services, Globat has
you covered, with software such as Flash, Macromedia Shockwave, QuickTime, Easy Video
Publishing and RealAudio/Video support. They also make getting your site constructed and
published in a snap also, with GloBuild easy site builder software and FrontPage
extensions.
Bluehost has unheard of hosting deals with the
perfect plan for any small to medium business, or personal web site. They currently have
one hosting plan, but for the price and what it offers, it can't be beat. In addition to a
huge storage and transfer limit, it offers a free domain name for life, free setup, free
domain privacy registration, 24-hour toll-free support, with a 2-minute support wait time
average. Account features offered are too numerous to list, but a few that really stood
out and are most significant are Flash support, message forum, live chat, web auction
software, along with a host of e-commerce shopping cart plugins. Their free site builder
also is a great feature, which makes building a web site a breeze. Bluehost also lets you
host unlimited domains on each account, great for clients with extra domain names.
HostMonster has the disk space and high transfer
allowances that large web sites crave. In addition to this, they also offer a free domain
name, free setup, free site builder and the ability to host unlimited domain names on your
account. This is a fantastic and hugely desirable feature, great for webmasters who have
multiple domain names and one of the reasons we rated HostMonster so highly on the list.
They also offer free toll-free 24/7 365-day telephone and e-mail support. They also offer
a vast list of free features with every account, perfect for an advanced web site that
needs extra functionality. A few notable features are Ruby On Rails, MySQL,

of 1-hour makes their offerings nearly unbeatable. They also offer 2 free domain names,
free setup and a number of features not found at other web hosts, such as a comprehensive
site builder program, scripts and more.
FastDomain Hosting is a relatively new hosting company to the market.
FastDomain were started in 2005, typically this would be something to think about, but in
this case it should be of no concern as they are wholly owned by Bluehost who have been

providing hosting services that are reliable, and backed by excellent customer support.

(called web servers) all over the world. The web server (computer) where your web site's
html files, graphics, etc. reside is known as the web host. Web hosting clients simply
upload their web sites to a shared (or dedicated) webserver, which the ISP maintains to
ensure a constant, fast connection to the Internet. |
