The 2 Best Webhosting Services for Your Business

If you haven’t already tackled the chore of finding the right web hosting service for your new business you’ll want to figure that out shortly. Over the last 10 years we’ve used almost exclusively one great hosting company for business and personal websites we’ve created and spent a few thousand dollars with them while developing about 100 websites over the years.

Godaddy webhosting and domain service is the company that we’ve used the most and the one that we strongly recommend to new business owners that are thinking about having a website to go along with their new business.

Why Godaddy?

Godaddy has been in business at least 10 years – possibly even from 1997. In the late 1990′s is when we started using them. They are currently the largest domain registration company in the USA and their hosting must be catching up as well.

They have very inexpensive website hosting plans starting at about $50 per year for generous amounts of bandwidth and server space for your files. You can host video, audio, and every other kind of file. The base-level price package includes a service that is perfect for most business owners – but, you might want to upgrade to either Deluxe or Premium hosting in order to get even faster speeds for your site, more bandwidth, and more server space.

When registering your new business domain with Godaddy you can get your (.com) domain name for just $1.99 if you buy the hosting package at the same time. So, for just about $53 you can have your domain name and a year of hosting.

Godaddy has a full plate of add-ons that are well-priced. Email, dedicated IP addresses, private domain registration, starter sites, and they have literally anything you could want – they are a full service company in every respect.

Which is the other company you’d recommend?

BlueHost.com. We’ve been testing Bluehost for over a year now and found it to be quite a good company for web hosting – especially for WordPress blogs which they’ve positioned themselves to be the number one hosting company for. Bluehost has an easy to understand control panel and very helpful support – via chat. We’ve used their chat services about 6 times to ask various questions and always come away with the right answer.
