Choosing Your Business Website Hosting

Webhosting for your business website is something that should be given some thought. It’s important to get right because once you have all your content up on the server you don’t want to be pulling it down to transfer it all to another host because the first one wasn’t good enough.

Personally I’ve used one host over the last 10 years. www.GoDaddy.com
Godaddy’s basic shared hosting service – with a coupon you can find by searching coupons – godaddy online, can be had for about $48 per year and give you more bandwidth and server space than you’re likely to even come close to maxing out.

Godaddy is now the most well known domain registrar, and their hosting is slowly coming up to world-class levels. Though honestly, I’ve had few problems in 10 years using them.

Recently www.GoDaddy.com came up with an unlimited plan for their shared hosting in which you can use an unlimited amount of server space and bandwidth. I’ve not tried that one yet as the middle grade – Deluxe Hosting level has always been OK for me.

Another host you can’t go wrong with is BlueHost.com but their interface (dashboard) isn’t as intuitive to use as Godaddy’s is. Their support is more responsive and better the first time than Godaddy’s in our opinion though.

Good luck with your web hosting. If you don’t know how to go about buying your domain name, setting up hosting and your website and other things we have a elearning course that can help you accomplish that – coming to the site soon – we’ll add a link here. You’ll receive a substantial discount off any elearning courses you purchase here if you have also incorporated your business with us here at StartColoradoBusiness.com or one of our other sites.
