No. However, we do offer some valuable information and referrals to help you out. We encourage you take just a couple of minutes to review our information before selecting a web host.
If you know all about web hosting and are looking for a reliable web hosting provider, take a look at our web hosting reviews page. If you want someone to work with locally or host your site locally, contact us, and we can also provide you a referral to a local web hosting provider.
If you are used to services like GoDaddy.com, we have an affiliate website that is managed, hosted, and serviced by GoDaddy. We sell domain names and just about everything else you'd need for your website or blog through it...including web hosting. Our prices are usually always lower than GoDaddy, and we offer this cost-savings opportunity as a courtesy to our customers (and if you have read this far...to you as well). It is especially great for registering, transferring, and managing domains. Our customers who have used it for hosting, e-mail, e-mail marketing, file and photo storage, and SSL certificates have found that it is highly reliable, easy to use, and very inexpensive. It isn't for everybody, but if you need an inexpensive and reliable hosting option and like to do it yourself, you should at least see all the services offered. Just be sure to follow the directions on that site and use the support on that site. We don't manage it. We just offer it to you as an option.
Does it matter where you host your website?
Yes. There is probably no other industry where a product varies in quality and price from company to company than web hosting. Some hosting "providers" are no more than some guy sitting at home reselling you another company's poor service. Other hosts are known "spam domains" and have been blacklisted. Most all of them provide very poor support and performance. The small amount of money paid in hosting fees can have one of the biggest impacts on your business if you're not careful. Lucky for you, we've compiled some good information here and have offered some recommendations as well. P.S. if you do take our recommendations and find a problem, please contact us. The last thing we want to do is give you bad advice. And, if you find our advice helpful, please link to us or pass along our URL to a friend or colleague.
Can you host your own website?
Yes, if you are either crazy or plan on staffing a data center and never having a good night's sleep again. If you take away only one piece of information from this website and never come back again, it should be: don't host your own website!
