Finding The Perfect Hosting Source . . . . .
Published on January 4, 2016
Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.
I've built several websites over the past few years, and for every one of them I used HostGator for the hosting service. I've never had a problem with HostGator - neither the product nor the support. They proved to be very realible in my opinion.
I've used GoDaddy and Namecheap for my domain name purchases (mostly Namecheap). I found that GoDaddy is the least expensive (initially), but their website is a bit confusing to me, and they kind of try to lead you along their "hard-sell" path. You have to be careful not to buy something you really didn't mean to buy.
I only recently realized that Namecheap provides hosting services. I'm sure they have been doing that from the time I started using them, but I just never paid it much attention. Everywhere I went for website building info suggested HostGator.

I switched one of my websites to Namecheap hosting and found it to be just as good as HostGator. I admit it was a little less user friendly, but the Namecheap support is excellent, and I was up and running in short order.
The big difference was in the cost. I was paying $9.95 per month for HostGator. I paid less than $10 for a YEAR (for the first year) with Namecheap. The price will go up after the first year, but it will still be about a third of what I paid in a year with HostGator.
I highly recommend everyone check it out to see if it is a good fit for you.
