Finding a Host for your Website

Once you have chosen your domain name you'll need to find somewhere to host your website.

A web host is a computer that stores all the files that make up your website. It doesn't make sense to use your own computer as a web host as it would have to be connected to the internet all the time and potentially cope with hundreds or thousands of visitors per day. For this reason you need to find a web host to store these files for you.

It is possible to get a free hosting account, but although this is fine for a small personal website, I don't recommend going down this route for a business website. Free hosts normally have very little or no technical support, they can be very unreliable and you'll usually have to display adverts on your site. This looks very unprofessional if you are running your own business.

I only recommend products and services that I have actually used myself, so for this reason I am recommending three different web hosts. I currently have websites on all three of these web hosts and I am happy with their services.

I personally recommend Blue Host. for high quality business web hosting. I currently host a number of my websites with this company and they are very reliable, with fully featured web hosting and good support.

Hosting starts at just $6.95 per month and their are a wide range of features including Fantastico for quick and easy install of Wordpress.

HostGator is a very reliable web host that I have used for the last few years. I host some of my sites on HostGator and have been using this host for over a year.

Their basic plans start at less than $10 per month and include a sufficient amount of disk space and bandwidth. You can also host up to 5 different domains on the one account with this plan, which is great value.

Once you have your hosting up and running you can start to Build your Website
