HostMonster.com - Recommended Web Host

I was recently asked by someone on DP about which web host I recommend. The answer is HostMonster.com, why? Well I’ve had quite a bit of experience with some poor web hosting service. In fact there are 2 hosts that I used to work with that I no longer do because they were crap in that they either had crap service or BS hidden fees, or both! I’m currently hosing domains on 7 different shared accounts. All of them are at least decent, although one does give me substantial problems with being down quite often (I’d feel bad for naming them… but I also would feel bad if you choose them… well you can make sure you don’t choose them by choosing HostMonster I guess so… nevermind that) …

Anyway, while all 7 of them are at least decent as far as services and the no hidden fees thing goes, there has been one host that stands above the rest in my experience and that is of course HostMonster. How do they stand above?

#1 I’ve never experienced even a single second of down time with them (to my knowledge) in about 2 years of service and I’m now hosting 16 domains on my one account so they are getting put to the test. Downtime is a big deal when you’re in internet marketing. Down time is time you’re not making money!

#2 They have all of the services that are becoming standard now like unlimited domains and unlimited bandwidth and unlimited hard drive space. They’ve got email accounts, MySQL… just all of the crap you might need.

#3 No hidden fees. I already mentioned that, but it’s a big one. It’s truly annoying to get a bill from your web hosting copany for some BS like “too many files in your account.” And yes I really did get a charge like that once, it was only $10 but the it’s the principle of the matter. What a ridiculous charge.

#4 Buy domains with privacy included for just $10.  I almost always buy my “privacy” for my domains and once you add the charge for privacy at GoDaddy, it’s about $18. So I’m saving about $8 for each domain I buy when I go through HostMonster.com instead.

#5 It’s cheap. Shared hosting is pretty cheap these days so this isn’t that big of a deal. But $6.95/month is pretty, pretty, pretty good as Larry David would say.
