| HostMonster |
|
HostMonster is a relatively new player in the hosting game, but that doesn't mean they haven't got the knowledge or experience it takes to offer outstanding services. If anything, they may just be a bit more "hungry" for your business. If you need to host multiple domains, HostMonster allows you to host as many as you can handle. They boast tons of space and bandwidth for a very reasonable price.
Some of the key features to the HostMonster plan besides a free domain name for life include a custom built free web site building tool which is so easy to use if you can write an email then you will be able to get a web page up with this system in hours (if not in minutes).
The advanced technologies don’t stop there with SSH access, unlimited emails, Ruby on Rails, Perl and Frontpage extensions to name a few. The hosting package is also ecommerce ready for you to get your web store online quickly. HostMonster may very well have the best support of any hosting service and their average response times are within minutes, not hours or days like some of the other hosting services.

Bluehost is one of the most rusted names in site hosting according to experienced webmasters. They have been hosting webs since the mid 1990’s and have an awesome reputation for honesty and hard work. The company created their own data center, which sits right next door to their call center and they are one of the few companies who build their own servers.
According to Matt Heaton, President of Bluehost, "We see a tremendous advantage in building and customizing our own servers because we are not tied into any long term hardware purchase contracts. Technology and advances moves quickly these days and being able to build our own computers gives us the flexibility to continuously upgrade our hard drives, processors, etc."
Bluehost’s service standards are amongst the very best in the business and their plan is very affordable at only $6.95/mo. this gets you 600 GB of disk space and 6000 GB in bandwidth. There are many valuable features and the ability to host Unlimited domains is great for any online marketer.

| Dot5 Hosting |
|
Dot5 Hosting is a perfect place to host your site if you're just looking for reliable hosting. If you're just needing a few (up to 6) websites and don't need massive storage and bandwidth, you can get their $495 per month plan that allows for 1.5 TB of space (that's huge) and 15 TB of bandwidth. You'd be hard pressed to use more than that, and if you did, you'd be making such a killing that paying for the extra bandwidth would be a welcome expense. They offer many extras including a free domain name, Frontpage extensions, the Vdeck professional web site control panel and an easy to use web site builder.
They offer friendly customer service by phone and emails 24x7x365 and they have a strong reputation for their uptime and advanced features for blogging, forums, ecommerce and photo galleries. Dot5 Hosting also provides advanced features like Ruby on Rails DHTML an advanced web site builder with hundreds of templates and a free search engine submission tool. This is a great low-cost hosting service that is very feature rich.

| Hostony |
|
Hostony is a great place to host your website. Especially if you need database access. Hostony allows unlimited postgreSQL, or mySQL databases. Couple this with live support, uptime guarantee, 400 or 600 GB of space plus 4 or 6 TB of bandwidth and you have a winning provider.
You also get unlimited email addresses amd unlimited autoresponders complete with web-based email. Shopping carts are part of the standard package as well.
All-in-all this hosting service has everything you need to get an online business going in a short amount of time.
Depending on the plan you choose you will get 20 or unlimited domains and even the higher priced plan is a real bargain. You manage your websites the the easy to use industry standard cPanel.
The only fault with Hostony is that it doesn't come with a webdesigner application so if this is important to you one of the providers with a web builder may be better for you. But if you want a professional hosting service with all the things you need for online business then you really can't go wrong with Hostony.

| Html Code Tutorial |
|
This site is one of the best when it comes to learning to code your own web sites or even if you just want to understand a little more about the code behind web pages.
There is also a great forum with friendly people willing to help even if you are completely new to html coding.
Once you get the hang of the site layout its a very quick and easy way to find the solution to your html coding needs.
Even though I have been coding web pages for years I still find myself using this site from time to time when I have forgotten the tag I need for a particular effect.
Highly recommended!
