Affordable Web Hosting

Web Hosting Services for the Do-It-Yourselfer

Hands On Web Hosting

Off Media will take care of all your web internet marketing needs so you do not have to know what web hosting is or deal with it. But, you may just need a host or you may want to choose your own host.

If you want to handle your own web hosting, are a do-it-yourselfer looking for web hosting, following are a few web hosts that are affordable and offer large amount of storage and bandwidth.

Keep in mind that cheap web hosting may or may not have the best support, you get what you pay for does apply at times, but the do-it-yourself web designer usually won't need much support.

1500 Gigabyte of Web Hosting Space

As you can see the storage wars are resulting in impractical storage limits that benefit all of us greatly. Can you really store 1500 gigabytes? Technically yes. You are essentially getting unlimited web hosting storage space and web hosting bandwidth.

IPowerWeb

I've been using Ipower and the only negative really is that the support isn't great.

You can get through and they do take care of you but it takes a long time. Other than that, smoking bandwidth, tons of storage and a full featured control panel including Wordpress.

Recent migration to a new server and possibly an ownership change is the likely reason support is lackluster and that should clear up. Cheapest hosting and the cheapest domain registration I've seen.

HostMonster

Host Unlimited Domains on 1 Account

Haven't tried them yet but was able to chat at length with sales and I dig their custom interpretation of the standard cpanel. The unlimited domains are really subdirectory web sites that are masked in some manner. Sales support says they are not masked. Also supports Postini, the third party spam filter firm. Will advise.

350 Gigabyte of Web Hosting Storage

HostGator

Seriously, a lot of web hosting disk drive storage for the money. As cheap a web hosting as Ipowerweb but not as much storage. Haven't used 'em. Cpanel driven.

Host Gator Cheap Web Hosting

150 Gigabyte of Web Hosting Storage

GoDaddy

The drop in space is pretty dramatic. GoDaddy is one of the entrepreneurial success stories of web businesses and they are solid.

GoDaddy.com Hosting & Servers

I've used GoDaddy Domain Name Registration through a reseller for years with great success and satisfaction. As for GoDaddy Web Hosting, a bit of a dog, but again, gets the job done. Their Control Panel is bizarre at best but always navigable in the end.

If you want one of the biggest brands GoDaddy is cool.

25 GB of Cheap Web Hosting

Network Solutions

Network Solutions Cheap Web Hosting

Well, no quick rundown of cheap web hosting would be complete without Network Solutions.

The great original domain registrar still pricing as if we are in the dark ages for domain registration (comes down with hosting added) but a solid entry.

I have one client who uses this host and I must say the support is awesome. This is an example of "you get what you pay for". I suspect that some of the cheaper hosts must allocate more funds to server maintenance as a percentage of overall budgets so support suffers.

Recommendation

Since if you are reading this you are looking for tons of space that you want to handle completely on your own I say let price and amount be your guide. That means IPowerWeb or HostMonster are the winner. If you want to be able to pick up the phone and reach a human being in a reasonably short amount of time use GoDaddy or Network Solutions.

Hope this helps,
