I use 1&1 for my web hosting at this site and would recommend their services to anyone. There are a lot of web hosting companies that offer a variety of different options. Here are three companies that I go to when I review the value of my package at renewal time. To note, I have never used any of their services but have, at times, contacted their respective customer service representatives with questions on their product offerings. I have always had a great response from those conversations.
To not have to repeat this in every brief, all the following hosting companies listed offer unlimited disk space, bandwidth and hosted domains (or at least claim to offer). They all have their own web site builder, usually included with purchase, and most use cPanel for site configuration and management. And, most importantly, most claim to have better than 99% uptime.
1&1
I have used this service for five years and have never had a complaint. There was only one time that my site was down and that was only for about 30 minutes – in five years. Every call/email to customer service has been met with a representative that has helped me through whatever solution I needed – sometimes in calls over 30 minutes. The setup is easy and their product offerings – domains, hosting options, web builder programs – are very competitive. The cPanel is easy to navigate through to complete the tasks at hand. My hosting package (affiliate link) – the home package – came with two domains but hosts unlimited names that I purchase through 1&1. The domains cost, regularly, $8.99 per year with free privacy registration. But, they offer many sales throughout the year that lower the first year of the domain to as little as $4.99. They have hosting levels to really meet your needs and the prices are pretty competitive – from $3.99 up. They usually have specials on the first year ranging from 3 to 6 months free.
HostGator
Whenever I think about reselling web hosting services, I always end up on HostGator. They have the best price for entry-level reselling packages and have a great reputation as a web host. But, they just don’t resell, they offer hosting plans starting at $3.96 (with a three-year commitment). Per year, though, the price is still low at under $6 a year. They deliver unlimited disk space and bandwidth on all their packages. HostGator uses cPanel and offers a free Site Builder to their customers.
bluehost – HostMonster
Bluehost is the first site I go to when my package comes up on renewal. Their prices are very competitive – at $6.95 per month. The main reason I check bluehost first is the 1-click installs for not only WordPress but also for Joomla, Drupal, Roundcube, Zen Cart, phpBB, Magento, Concrete5 and over 50 over services. Bluehost also has a sister company – HostMonster – that is more of a “discount” host, offering a lower price per month on their hosting service.
iPage – FatCow
iPage and FatCow are sister companies that offer quality web hosting at a great price. Personally, I go to iPage more than FatCow to compare what I have to what i could have at my renewal. iPage has always been an option for me with their $4.50 per month pricing (down to $4.25 for 2 or 3 year commitments) and extras like SiteLock security, free online store and other marketing tools.
Other companies that I know offer quality services but have personally not looked at in details (mainly just passing) are:
