When I first began dabbling in building websites, I made all the mistakes including setting up with the wrong hosting company.

Two of the most important lessons I learned, was that I needed to hook up with a web host that had real live people on the other end of the phone, and preferably one in the same country that I reside in…(it saves a ton on long distance calls). You can have the cheapest plan around but if you can't get through to a live person in their customer service department or if you have to call overseas, that cheap hosting plan just became very expensive.

I currently use two different hosting companies of which I highly recommend each of them. To go to their site, click on the affiliate links or banners in this post.

1). Bluehost.com is where the majority of my sites as well as my clients sites are hosted. I have been with Bluehost.com now for over 7 years and have never had a complaint.

If I have ever had the need to call their tech support or customer service, I have always had my calls answered promptly and their employees are always courteous and knowledgeable. There have been several times that they even helped me with a problem that had nothing to do with their service (such as coding, etc). NOW THAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE! 

Below, see for yourself everything they have to offer and at a very decent price.

 

 

2.) Diamond Web Hosting is my own reseller account. I have been using Diamond Web Hosting since the beginning of 2011 and have not had any problems or complaints with this company as well. 

 

Diamond Web Hosting is a little bit cheaper but I would say that  Bluehost.com has more options and bells and whistles so it just depends on what you actually need for your site. See below for more information on Diamond Web Hosting.

 

 

 

Both of these hosting providers offer many extras, 1-click installations of Joomla, WordPress, PHBB, osCommerce, and many other scripts. If you have any questions on my recommendations, feel free to post a comment or drop me an email.
