I have just completed my one-year trial of POW Web. The trial included purchasing domains and running three sites on my account, two of which ran on the blog platform wordpress. The busiest site, one of the blogs, ran cron jobs and received a high of 100 unique visitors per day. One site was a [...]
Until the end of July 2009, Pronet Hosting is offering a pretty amazing deal. If you click the banner above, you can get a full year of hosting for $4.95.
Consider this a preliminary review. I’ve only been with Pronet Hosting for about a week, as of July 19, 2009, so this review may be subject [...]
Overview: Netfirms is a shared and grid website hosting company. I hang out with site owners all the time and no company has as wide a range of opinions about them as netfirms. From “the last and only host you’ll ever need” to “the most oversold host on the Internet,” the spectrum of opinions is wide and contradictory. The reality, of course, is somewhere in between and is based upon user expectations going in. Netfirms is not a super-fast grid host. The reality is that Netfirms is actually a good, mid-power choice.
Host Papa is a shared host with a single hosting plan, as many companies have gone to these days. Host Papa really does most everything well, but one of the things that really distinguishes it from other hosting companies is that they have gone 100% green.
HostMonster is a shared-host with a “one-size fits all” philosophy. While that doesn’t necessarily, as we’ve seen, mean that HostMoster will suit your needs (though they will for the vast majority of users), and we do tend to prefer companies that are scalable, HostMoster is still a shared-hosting company that deserves your attention because of their technology, their superior customer service, the ease of use and their pricing.
bluehost is one of those one-size-fits-all shared hosting companies like PowWeb, offering a single option for people wanting to use their services. Unfortunately, I am not as positive about bluehost for a variety of reasons.

Well, it is what it is. As they say on their site, they have “one plan, one price.” What this means, since they are set up more like a shared host than a grid host, is that you have no scalability. If your site is successful, you will have to move to a different hosting company. What you get is what you get, and they do give you a lot for $3.88 per month (if you pay for two years up front), but if you don’t pay that far ahead, the value drops considerably.
