There are a lot of different ways of going about finding domain names and hosting out there today but very few companies offer both in the same package. That is one of the reasons why I chose
Hostmonster.com for my domain and web hosting needs. Simply put,
Hostmonster.com provides you with everything you need to do just about everything out there on the
Internet. Whether you want to set up a blog, an online store, and forum and message board
Hostmonster can do it all and a lot of the tools needed for the aforementioned items are provided for free by
Hostmonster. They have this tool called
simple scripts which
literally installs and sets up everything for you. I personally used the
word press simple script just recently installation of
word press literally took a grand total of 1 minute. After that I spent about an hour just getting to know the ins and outs of
word press, installing themes (which is also very easy) and posting my first post on my
web space. The only downside here is that there is a glitch
word press is working on that does not allow you to import any of your old posts very easily from blogger-but copy and paste never hurt anyone along with just holding out until
word press fixes the glitch. Again its
word press and not
Host monster providing the glitch.
With
Host monster you get you're own .com, .net, .org or just about any .whatever name you want, unlimited
sub domains,
unlimited add on domains for 10 dollars a year per domain all
accessable from the same account. You also get all kinds of cool add on features like ready to go shopping carts, coupons for google
AdWords and Yahoo advertising, submission to get ranked on search engines faster and all kinds of other great tools.
Hostmonster provides several different FTP options as well, making it easy to transfer files from your computer to you web host.
At $6.95 per month it really is a cheap way of getting your own space on the
Internet. However
Hostmonster does require you to pay up front for every month you want to host with them. I mean to say that if you chose to host with them for a year it will be $6.95 per month times 12 months = $83.40 initial cost. I liked that they required everything up front because this way there is no monthly payment to have to worry about and it
guarantees that your web space will be up and running for a year no matter what. There are several different "plans" to chose from, you can sign up for 6 months at a time, just a month to try it out, or over a year. Click Here to be taken to their learn more page.
