stick with a cheap web host that offers cpanel. you probably will only need a small amount of webspace and bandwidth to start, so don't throw away extra cash each month (it adds up). depending on how many domains/websites you want to have, you should check how many "add-on" domains the host allows.

 

[weblord]

it depends fairly on your expectations, at the start look for the following in the order of importance:
1. uptime
2. knowledgeable customer support
3. specifications
4. price
the last thing to look at is the price that's for me, since you get what you pay for.

Star with free web hosting accout and test and learn things out and then in few month you will know what you need and how much that cost

 

[SiberForum]

Visit Namepros marketplace. There are lots of the web hosting companies present there.

 

[iHubNet-Matt]

If you want to be familiar with hosting there are hosts which offer packages for low price. Assuming you need low resources that won't be a problem. There after when you become serious you can move to another one according to your needs.

As you are a beginner start from low cost but reliable services from apthost.com, they are good for beginners and not only for them 'cause they provide their services in a quality way taking into accounts the interests of their customers.

[eggymusic]

with my personal experience, i highly recommed apthost.com. they are amazing and i am not an affiliate. just a very happy customer

If you are still looking for suggestion, I strongly believe that you should buy shared hosting for beginning, but it depends on size of your web site. I know decent and reliable hosting provider which is called dayanahost.com. It offers cPanel, WHM and really new say5 control panels. The thing which I liked most of all is that you can get "Say5 1GB Plan" for only $39.99 per year! I am sure that this would be reasonable deal.

 

[SiberForum]

I suppose that will be long thread with lots of recommendations. What I recommend for you is placing direct requests here and start discussions with different companies.

 

[Policeman]

I can recommend you a host which is to my mind one of the best for starters - webhostgiant.com - cheap and large accounts with plenty of useful features and the supposrt of the most used applications will surely be suitable for quality hosting.

I agree with Serverpoint. Don't waste your money on a paid host until you've spent a few months testing out free hosting.

 

[m1xolyd1an]

I have been using the same host for about 5 years now... cleverdot.com. $29.99 for a year of hosting and comes with free domain name registration... 1GB of storage, 10GB of transfer a month and tons of useful tools and plug-ins, and uses Cpanel

 

[Ultimatum]

If you want to have bad experience with hosting company, try free web hosting services. But I strongly believe that you can afford to buy cheap shared hosting account at reliable company like ahosting.biz for instance. It has skillful support which is able to explain you everything you need.

First of all I'd recommend you to know something more of webhosting, before gettion an account in order not to be scammed. There are many good companies, but as well there are many scammers. Pay attention to the people's opinion and reviews on the certain host.

I would recommend you some companies which I consider as good places to start from. First is webhostgiant.com - very cheap, and very user friendly, then MMhosting.com - cheap, user-friendly....

 

[PoRsa]

Well, the best solution to start with is shared hosting, it is most economical option for hosting as many people share the overall cost of server maintenance. This is generally affordable web hosting solution for small business. I think that hqhost.net would be good choice as it has nice plans to start and the price is really cheap, also they offer domain name registration.

 

[squatter]

Since you are the beginner you need something as simple as it is possible but also something you are able to learn from. I recommend you to look up marblehost.com which offers many free features like sitebuilder and free domain name, what will svae you a few bucks and much time. The company is pretty stable affordable.

If you are new to hosting I’d suggest you go for shared hosting as it is one of the cheap form of hosting. Shared hosting is mostly recommended for small business, personal website and for people with lower budget. There are many web hosting company available you can select according to your requirement and budget.

 

[euro-space]

Go to shared hosting with cPanel, as it is most easy and intuitive control panel from where you can manage your websites, emails, etc.

 

[JPC-Sabrina]

If you are new to hosting then the basics of what you are looking for include: Uptime, 24/7/365 technical support, live chat, ticketing system, phones and e-mail for contact along with a good reputation and the longevity of the host. cPanel is another item to add to your list. Once you have some experience with this web hosting maintenance and task tool you will find that it has all of the elements needed by beginners and experts. Also consider a host that has a good money back guarantee policy just in case you decide the service isn't right for you.

 

[Jiligite]

I saw many hosts that were in my budget, provided the resources I needed and where not oversold but where usually in the UK or Canada, which was unacceptable for me because most of my members are from the US.

 

[Scattered]

Very often, when people ask me about web hosting, they want to know if I know any cheap but good web host. This particularly applies to those who are just starting their web site and are not willing to sink a lot of money into it.

 

[Greg-Netost]

Well... many web hosting companies provide different offers. Among the lot you need to find the right option by filtering each through your requirements. For this you need to list out your requirements in the first place.

 

[DaisyKnight]

There are numerous of companies which provide you good and affordable web hosting and yes it's, of course, important to consider the cost. But here are some important which you should also consider while choosing a Web Host.
1. Disk Space: - Some of the web host providers offers unlimited Disk Space but gives only limited space. While unlimited should be unlimited. As, I have gone through one organization IX Web Hosting and it offers unlimited Disk space and their unlimited means unlimited. They never limit their limitations of space. This can be a big concern if you are making big sites.
2. Bandwidth: - Bandwidth is as same as the Disk Space. They should be unlimited if they had offered you unlimited.
3. UpTime: - The Uptime of one web host should be 99.9%. Because if Uptime is not 99 then there is no point of having a website if people can't see it.
4. Technical Support: - If you are facing any problem and if that host provider cannot solve your problem easily then there is no use of that host provider. So thetechniocal support should be 24/7 so that the problem can be sorted easily.
So after going through these points you can go for a good and great web host provider.
