Wordpress hosting

WebHostingBuzz was founded in 2002 and hails from the USA.

They have fantastico for easy installation of wordpress, drupal or many other popular programmes.

They have the cpanel control panel which I personally love. I have seen prettier but cpanel is easy to navigate and use. It’s quite refreshing to see that they don’t have this “unlimited everything” policy, they have a few different packages at various levels.

It’s cheaper to pay for 12 or 24 months up front and they also have a 30 day money back guarantee that I alsways like to see.

What I like on their site is a section that says one of the reasons to go with them is : “Honesty – We’re not perfect”, I think this is a good statement. Every web host will have some problems at times, it’s how they deal with it that counts.

Just Host have an impressive range of features and has on the face of it everything I look for in a web host.

- cpanel control panel
- host unlimited domains
- fantastico
- money back guarantee
- 24/7 support

UltraHosting is for the more serious webmaster. They offer virtual private servers (VPS) as a solution for people not ready for a dedicated server but with more requirements than can be provided by a shared hosting provider.
They have got a live chat facility on their website for anyone that wants to find out more. You can also use the live chat to ask them to beat any price as part of their 110% price guarantee.

WestHost have been recommended by a few wordpress gurus in 2009 so it’s definitely worth a look.

Like many of their counterparts techhosting offer only one hosting package. techhosting call this the “total package”.

techosting allow 7 domains on one hosting account which is probably enough for most people but to be aware of if you are a serial web-entrepreneur
