I found my hosting, for now!

Nov 16, 2011   //   by elmalak   //   Blog, Computers and Life  //  No Comments

After a month or so of confusion and continuous searching for the best hosting to go for, I found that my best choice was Bluehost.

I moved my sites to it and I have to say that everything went on smoothly and without a problem.

I find their package to be very good in terms of features and price and I enjoy using cPanel which makes it easy to reach everything I need on my hosting account.

The ability to host more than one site on the same account is very good( I didn’t have this with bizland and that was really bad, as I had to operate multiple accounts and pay for them separately!) So now, I host all my sites in one account that costs $5.95/month with the 2-year package.

My sites seem stable and load a bit faster than they used to and this makes me happy.

Before settling with Bluehost, I did a free signup with Dreamhost making use of their 14-day free trial period and I have to admit they were great except that I had a problem with moving my site and that made me decide not to continue with them, however, if you’re setting up a new site, I would definetly recommend them as they really offer a good service although slightly more expensive that Bluehost( Dreamhost costs $8.95/month if you sign up for 2 years).

N.B.:

I am not affiliated with any hosting company and what I explained above is just my personal experience.

Looking for best hosting?

I am, and I have to say it’s a very tricky and confusing task, to find the best hosting company to put your sites on.

Since I first started hosting my sites I’ve been a loyal customer for bizland.com however, lately, I started to see lots of down time which made me annoyed and I tried to contact them many times but didn’t get a satisfactory response.

And as my site is based upon WordPress that poses extra challenges, and I have to say my experience with Godaddy hosting was the worst for WordPress sites, and it took my triple the usual time to get a site ready on it earlier this month.

Looking around, asking people and not relying on Google search( which gave me loads of unreliable reviews mostly affiliates who benefit when you sign up for certain hosting companies, so definitely can’t be trusted!), I came to narrow my search to two of them, dreamhost  and bluehost and  I am in the last phase of choosing between them.

So, from  your experience, what’s your favorite hosting company and why did you choose it?

Hope to hear from you.
