Best Web Hosting Site for Business?

August 31st, 2011 6 comments

A frequently-asked query:

Hi – I currently use ZyWeb as the web hosting service for my business (really an organization/association). ZyWeb seems to be very dated, and the templates are very restrictive. I am very computer literate, but not so much in web hosting/design. I can play around and figure things out, but I have no idea how to edit HTML codes or what that does. I would love a service where I could start with a template, but still move things around – and make it my own. For example, instead of just being able to type text into the correct spot, be able to move the header into the middle of the page (not that I would want to do that, just an example). Not a requirement, but would be nice. I just need the basics for the most part. Good customer service. Any web host suggestions would be great. If you have a website with one and wouldn’t mind sharing – I’d appreciate that too! The main one I’ve heard of so far is Host Gator.

Thanks in advance, and I do choose best answers!

What's the best web hosting site to use?

August 30th, 2011 12 comments

A frequently-asked query:

I need to create a website for my business. I don’t like the idea of using a free web hosting service because I want to own my own domain name. I’ve read a lot of bad reviews for GoDaddy.com and I’m not familar with any other web hosting sites. I need some advice on which web host site I should use and why. I’m not as interested in which sites are cheaper to use as I am which are more reliable, user friendly and overall better. I don’t mind to pay more for a web hosting site that actually works. I appreciate your help and time!
