What should I be looking for in a website host ?

I have a few website projects and although I am skilled in programming I am not that well educated on web hosts -- what's a good price, key factors in evaluating them.





All 3 sites rely on a large amount of database interaction. Probably similar in many ways to this site.





If you can recommend a good host and informative reasons why, that would be great.

If you like to create websites (usually you will end up more than 1 website, I got more than 100 websites in about 6 months' time), go for multiple web hosting services where you could host all your websites in one account.





I would like to suggest following webhosting which I use, they are excellent.





Hostmonster http://www.hostmonster.com/track/ryukend...





They offer hosting of "unlimited domains" and you will get massive webspace of 300000 MB (300 GB ). They only charge $5.95/month and they offer "a free Domain Name" and installing service called "Fantastico". By using Fantastico, you could create own forum, photo gallery, shopping cart (e-commerce),your own auction site and your own blogs within few seconds. They also offer "Free Website Builder" as well.


Visit the site to check details.

Domains


Following site is quite good to register domains as price is reasonable with free privacy. Some charge about $5/ year just for free privacy.

You would be better with Linux hosting. Php %26amp; MySQL.


Fast with good uptime and live support is the key elements.
Reply:http://www.JuicyHosting.com/ is inexpensive, with great 24/7 phone support, also lets you host multiple sites. http://www.LocoDomains.com is also very good
Reply:What you should be looking for is Storage Space, Transfer Bandwidth, and Cost. Pretty much all of the webhosts I've seen are 99.9% uptime so that's probably not something you need to worry so much about. I recommend http://www.dakotawebhosting.com
