Task Discussion

I've got my hosting through http://e-velocity.co.uk/

*disclaimer* e-velocity is a company run by a friend of mine. I figured if any profit was to be made from hosting my site, I'd prefer it to go to someone I know and like, and when I call up with any issues, I get to have a nice chat too.

Possibly not the most business-like reasons to choose a host, but they work for me!

I am currently going with ooowebhost for several reasons: One of which is free hosting. 100GB monthly traffic is big enough for my needs - which is really not much. There is also enough space for storage and many other things: You can read a simple tutorial I created today on how to get up and running with it. Check it out please and leave me a comment and a link to your own blog. Thanks

I read the words of a few of the P2PU’s contributors here. Among our peers, I was informed by the words/opinions of:

Brylie Oxley of the Woolman Semester School (By the way, Brylie, I liked that you mentioned the importance of administrative features, server side software, and carbon offset.)

S Briggs of NgbuzzBlog and

firewire2879

I wrote about this challenge/opic over at my P2PU blog, The Vistor in a short post titled: Choosing from a Host of Hosts. I also listed the qualities that I look for in a good hosting service.

I'm hosting my websites with 000host.com. So far its going good. But it is'nt suitable for websites with daily visitors more then 500 and running lot of web scripts. They even suspend the websites which uses lot of CPU. So, for personal websites, small and medium businesses which generally have low traffic can go for it.

Hi Everyone,

You can read my blog post here: http://gjpconsulting.wordpress.com/2012/10/25/hosting-dns/

Or for quick reference, my answer to this question was to use GoDaddy.com as they have been good before and were easy to setup this time, plus were pretty inexpensive.

Thanks.

I've only known of Bluehost for websites and IPBoard for online communities, but i havent looks that car into any other hosting service. I do know websites themselves offer hosting, like redstone and yahoo....and ofcourse godaddy. Im pretty sure all major web companies(google, etc) have their own services and such. Only thing ive helped host is MisfitActual.com. Every other website ive hosted is now down....

I actually didn't know that I need a hosting site as well as a registration. It makes sense! In certain sense, I am already doing this, but to know it explicitly is great.

As someone already concluded : lots of paid hosting sites, but few free good ones. I was thinking about blogspot.com (www.blogger.com so google blog hosting), also WordPress (paid), but there's also wix.com easy and a quick dirty start for personal (also paid)

Mashable.com has a great article on hosts

http://mashable.com/2011/07/10/small-business-website-budget/

I think I like Snap Pages the most because it enables me to create great websites for very little time. That is the sustainable way before i get pro

People use various sites below, but I haven't found any I like.

My sites, seoboosters.com.ua, mazepa-fest.org.ua and others, are hosted on UAHOSTING. This is a Ukrainian hosting provider. They have servers in Ukraine and in Germany and my sites are hosted on one of the German servers.

I pay 30 USD per year and can have up to 10 sites. So far I'm happy with this provider.

A couple of years ago my sites were hosted on ipage.com. I was fooled by their flashy ads that promised unlimited space, unlimited sites and unlimited everything for just 2 or 3 dollars per month. It was a big mistake to order their hosting. It was REALLY slow (at that time I had just a couple of wordpress sites) and their tech support could never help me.

I learned a good lesson - 1. don't trust hosting reviews, 2. avoid hosting providers that promise to give you unlimited resources for a very small fee, 3. ask you friends, who have more experience in that field, to recommend you some good provider 4. choose your local provider - then you can speak to them in you native language.

Okay, so this is where things start to get a little tricky for me.

Right now, I use GoDaddy as my registrar, but I use "Not a Cloud in the Sky" as my host.

What's the tricky part? Well, NACITS is a private hosting solution, offered in partnership with http://sapphiresolutionsltd.com/ and http://bamajr.com/, so essetially, I'm my own host.

I have my own cloud-based, virtual server environment. The small server farm is located at the same place I'm located. I own all the servers, network equipment and hardware used to run my system. Finally, I manage and administer the system.

So...

I'm not going out and subscribing to another host, when I have everything under the sun, right next to me.

As a french internet user I like to manage hosting service in my language on OVH.

This company, which is now multilingual, is just easy to use for a personal hosting and is also complete that many companies use it.
