Hostmonster Consider to be one of the best priced web hosting providers.

One of the oldest site companies that handle website host owns the site Hostmonster.com. This company also owns the webhosting service Bluehost. Over the years it has been shown to be a very dependable and cost effective site for someone who is trying to build their own website. It was started back in 1996 and has since built their service to the point where they are hosting over 360 thousand different domain names. The home office for this site is based out of Salt Lake City, Utah. With today’s technology fields outsourcing their tech support, this company has kept it all in house. All of their tech support personnel are fluent in programming and webhosting. This is great for a person who might be just getting started in web design. They utilize the Linux operating system to manage their servers which are quad-processor 64-bit servers. Even though there have been some concerns with this company’s ability to meet it customers demands, it is a good place to start up your first website. Since it first started it has slowly evolved into a personal favorite of many web designers and website administrators.

Great web domain hosting with a lot of extra features.

Ever since it first started one of its main focus was not on the business but on the customers. They have been known to put fewer users on each of their servers then some of their competitors.  They offer a lot for the low price of 5.95 per month.  Another great thing is the fact that they give you one free domain name for life as long as you have a contract with them. Some of the features they offer are unlimited space and bandwidth, which for any serious webmaster give them the ability to use a wide variety of add-on domains.  This is great benefit to someone who has several different websites; they will be able to control all of their sites through one simple account. Another great benefit of using this company’s services is the fact that their servers are monitored 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Over the past few years there have been very few months where its uptime percentage was below 99.9%. Their easy to use control panel makes managing all of the sites you might have in your account fairly simple. You can add or delete email address and sub domains on your site.

User friendly control panels with lots of built in extras.

They support MySQL and PostgreSQL databases which can be managed through their user interface. Their control panel has a lot of pre-installed scripts ready for use on your websites. Having these on hand can make your job a lot simpler. Some of the scripts that are available are contact form which sends an email, a guestbook, a counter, and rotating banners. It took me only a few minutes to use these scripts to get my site up and running while I continued to improve on it over time.  The only drawback that I personal don’t like is the fact that you do have to sign a contract with them, but fortunately they do allow you to cancel it at anytime without having to pay a cancelation fee.
