Cheap Web Hosting Blog

There are plenty of hosting suppliers out there in the market today and two firms that are worth discussing is BlueHost and Lunarpages. Both these corporations have been about for some considerable time and have a good reputation in the bizz. which company is the best of the two? Lets us make a comparison to find out which company excels in the different classes.

By comparing the packages provided, Lunarpages provides explicit packages for blogs, growing businesses or companies but BlueHost isn’t clear in their packages. So, to discover which package suits you if you need to select BlueHost, you’ll need to spend s tiny time to do a research. Although this may not be big matter, it proves that Lunarpages provide something that BlueHost don’t provide.

Next, we have a look at the price for both companies.

BlueHost is the cheaper choice but Lunarpages provides more price as well as their higher costs. From the purchaser’s point of view, both corporations are adequate. Actually, many consumers have web sites hosted by both these firms. For a conclusion, the company that you’ll select must be a good business investment. Lunarpages provide more decisions but some might be too heavy on your financial position.

the only way to choose a quality internet host is to take the selection process one step at a time:. The first item to address in selecting the best hosting service for your requirements is to basically identify what those wants are.

what kind of web site are looking to host? Tiny private homepages will have absolutely different hosting standards from enormous company web sites. To find the best hosting service for you, it’s important to ascertain precisely what you intend to host now, and ideally take into account anything you are getting ready to host in the future. Different hosting firms provide a giant assortment of rates. Companies offering dedicated servers will be much higher than others offering cheap hosting with little bandwidth. Competition from overseas is priced temptingly low for most but there are several considerations. Free hosts are superb for tiny family or fun sites, but aren’t suited to the requirements of net marketers even those just starting.

Rate shouldn’t be a top determining factor till you have narrowed a list primarily based on other factors like. The best hosting services will be offering uptime of over 99%. This could be a warranty to inspire the company to keep all servers up all of the time. Naturally, visitors should also be ready to access your internet site fast. Website hosting firms pay for bandwidth, so you, the one using that bandwidth will be billed in an appropriate way. It is much better to pay for the necessary quantity of information transfer up-front instead of get a shock bill in the post for having gone significantly over your allocated amount. By the same rule, be certain you’ve got an acceptable quantity of drive space reserved. The best hosting support one can hope for is available 24 hours per day, 7 days each week. Most corporations know this, so take their stated hours with a touch of suspicion.

Different internet sites have different wants, and the best hosting service for you must accommodate those wishes.

be certain to see whether other features like shopping carts and secure servers are available or standard. Be certain hosting firms offer some kind of a control panel accompanying hosting.

So here we go. Slowly, slowly catch a coupon. Today I can give you a coupon code for one of the biggest, most respected hosting providers in the US. There are many coupons for Hostgator littering the web and the problem is that most of them don’t work.

The last man/coupon standing is:

HGC25 – the name is misleading as now it only gives you a $9.94 discount on any plan. It used to be $25 at the beginning of the promotion.

But hey, every little helps! So if you want to sign up with Hostgator anyway you may as well use this coupon and save a little cash.

So coupon mania hasn’t come to an end yet. Here are two Lunarpages coupons that will save you some money if you sign up with this host.

When ordering you will have to type in:

25OffHosting – $25 off any 12/24 months hosting plan
2FreeMonths – will add two additional months to the end of your web hosting plan

You can reedem them now or read my Lunarpages review first.

First of all my previous post about a HostIcan coupon was a blunder and I probably let a few people who wanted to try it down because it didn’t work. First of all I would like to apologize for that and give you some more info on how this mess up came about but first let me give you the new working HostICan coupons :

* 12 months base-host: $95.40 $75.40 – Save $20 with coupon code baseplan-12

* 24 months base-host: $166.80 $116.80 – Save $50 with coupon code baseplan-24

* 12 months tera-host: $143.40 $93.40 – Save $50 with coupon code teraplan-12

* 24 months tera-host: $262.80 $212.80 – Save $50 with coupon code teraplan-24

You can redeem all of these coupons now and they are valid until the 29th of January 2009!

So now some words as to why the previous coupon didn’t work. A guy from HostICan contacted my and offered me a coupon. Of course I was thrilled by the possibility to offer my readers a good coupon from a reliable host and requested one. So we emailed back and forth and the guy said he had activated my coupon and the name was HostIcan-50 and it would give everyone $50 of all the aforementioned plans. That was in early December. A couple of days ago a reader notified me that he had tried using the coupon and it wasn’t working. Quite peed off by this news I emailed HostIcan only to find out that said coupon had never been activated. So I’ve been warned and will double check these coupons from now on. If you try to use the coupon and whether it works or not please leave a comment so that I’ll know about the state of the coupon codes.

Unfortunately this post turned out to contain inaccurate information. Please go up one post and you will find my new working HostIcan coupons.

I’ve got good news for all the readers of this blog who have been looking for a great coupon deal from one of the best affordable hosts around.

This coupon will give you $50 off and expires on 12/03/08 – or 12th December 08 for the Europeans. I.e. it is redeemable until this date.

You can apply this coupon to both the Base and Tera host plans. These are your new prices:

* 24 months tera-host: $262.80 $212.80

Redeem your coupon here and type in coupon code HostIcan-50 when you order.

I like blogging about web hosting coupons since I think they offer a good and affordable way for beginners to find a plan with a good host. Since I list Hostmonster in my reviews I thought I try to find a coupon to list here. So I googled and a lot of results came up on the front page that looked to be topical. Now here is the catch: All of these results scream Hostmonster Coupon but none of them is actually a valid coupon. They merely advertise the cheapest per month rate you can get at Hostmonster, namely $6.95/month.

The other options are:
3 months, $8.95 + $30 setup
6 months, $8.95 + $30 setup
12 months, $7.95 no setup
24 months, $6.95 no setup

To cut a long story short there is not Hostmonster coupon available online and if you find one it will be bogus. The best you can do is the $6.95 if you pre-pay for two years. If you don’t like their service you can get a refund.

Go to Hostmonster now

If you are looking at getting a good hosting plan then June is your month as Powweb offers a $10 coupon to new accounts opened in June!

Lunarpages now has an option to move to the new CPanel Evolution XP. For this purpose Lunarpages have set up a special server. Initially it is supposed to be a test server for foreign language customers who want to trial this CPanel skin. But I know that you can request to be moved to this server even if you’re an English speaker. Just email support and ask to be moved with your primary domain name and the last 4 digits of your credit card that Lunarpages has on file for you.

Go to Lunarpages.

Transferring from one web host to another can be quite time consuming. You need to download and upload all files from your old host to your new host. If you have dynamic content you need to import and export all your data. Nowadays some hosting firms offer to make the transfer for you if you sign up with them. Some of the hosts I reviewed are offering to make the transfer for their new customers.

HostICan will buy out your previous contract up to $40 and do the site transfer for you.

Hostgator also offers a free website transfer service.

Lunarpages does not offer to do the transfer for you but they add on up to six months of your previous hosting contract for free!! In addition they offer a 90 days money back guarantee
