Choosing a reliable web host

by Terry Dunn on November 7, 2009

Netcraft measures and makes available the response times and reliability of the 50 leading hosting providers on a regular basis. And the most reliable hosting sites in September were Hosting 4 Less and Server Intellect. These days host server outages are few and far between, unless you are really unlucky. So, Netcraft send requests throughout the month and rank the sites by the fewest request failures. This is a better measure of reliability.

Hosting 4 Less servers runs on the Apache Linux web host software platform and has free buysafe bonding on their websites. Apache is open source software and competes with Microsoft IIS web server for the most popular web host software on the planet. Proof that free open source software can be excellent. Buysafe bonding is for ecommerce websites and builds shopper confidence to buy from your web store.

In the featured video Kyle Graham TV provides a tutorial to choose and build a website with popular web host hostgator. Hostgator hosting starts from $4.95 a month. At this price, there’s no excuse for using free webhosts. The video takes you through the process of creating a new web hosting account, step-by-step. It does assume you have already registered your chosen domain name with godaddy, the world’s biggest domain name registrar.

As you can see, choosing a reliable host and setting up a new website is not difficult.
