Testimonials

"Phew! Finally, a directory that helped me find affordable web hosting for my website. The10besthosts.com actually differentiates between all of the hosts that are out there. When you're looking for cheap web hosting, you want to be sure you're signing up with a company that is going to give you loads of features, along with great reliability, speed and uptime of course. But you also want to know what makes each web host different. The full feature list and the best feature highlights really helped me find the right host. I chose FatCow because of their emphasis on service, and because their customers seem to love them.”

- Jen Kline

“As a web developer with several clients, I need different things for different websites, from applications to website builders to shopping carts. Until The10besthosts came along, I had to visit all of the potential sites, and evaluate their features one by one. Now, I have one place to go and get all of the information I need about cheap web hosts in one place. I've chosen my last 3 web hosts with the help of The10besthosts. Each time I knew what I was getting into and each time I've been happy with my choice. ”

- Eric Lockey

“I was always wary of cheap web hosting until I decided to move my site from a higher priced web host because of uptime issues. Thanks to The10besthosts, it was simple to find a host who offers what I need, and I'm loving my new host. They made it easy to transfer my domain, gave me a program for a fully functional shopping cart, have a rocking control panel (better than the pricey one!), and deliver fantastic support. ”

- Brad McCann

How to Choose Between Web Hosting Companies.

1. Do I know anyone who has a Web site with any of these web hosting companies?

It's always best to get advice from someone you trust! Ask friends, family and associates how they like their current Web hosting companies -and their previous hosts. Get as specific as you can. ask about the tools the Web host provides, their support, uptime, reliability, how quick it was to accomplish their goals. If you're creating an online store, find out about the host's ecommerce offerings and software for creating a catalog.

If you don't know anyone, do your research. Do some comparison shopping. The Web hosting industry is very competitive, so there is lot of information about hosts out there. (That's part of the reason we created The10BestHosts.com) Also, customers like to chat, so check out forums. Take your time and find the host that's right for you!

Of course before you can start looking at different web hosting companies, you'll need to decide.

2. What do I want to do with my Web site?

Start by defining a goal for your Web site. Think about whether you want your Web site to act as a brochure site for your small business, a photo gallery of your crafts, an online scrapbook for your family, a blog to express your opinions or keep your customers up to date on new products, a place to store your resume.

You'll also want to determine how big you think your Web site will be, which will help you determine your disk space needs. Likewise, you'll be able to evaluate how many visitors you'll want, which will drive your bandwidth/data transfer needs. Of course, most Web hosts, even the cheap Web hosts, offer unlimited disk space and bandwidth. Still, it helps to have your needs defined.

Moreover, you'll be able to evaluate the features of your Web hosting plan. You'll know if ecommerce tools for an online store and what types of applications-blogs, content management systems, forms-you'll need.

Once you've established your goal, your next step is to decide.

3. How will I create my Web site?

There are about as many ways to create a Web site as there are Web hosts! Still if you're a beginner to Web site building, you may want to consider using a site-building tool. These simple point-and-click applications use Web site templates to let you create a site very quickly. Most Web hosts offer a Web site builder. Many Web hosts will show samples of the kinds of sites you can create. If you're going to use a builder, make sure you see what your Web site could look like before you select your host.

Alternatively, you may choose to use a software application, such as Microsoft Expressions or Abobe Dreamweaver. (They're both great programs, but a little pricey.) If this is the route you choose for your Web site, make sure your new Web host support the program.

Also, if you're looking to do something specific with your Web site-such as a blog, photo gallery, ecommerce or newsfeeds, be sure the Web host provides the application, software or program you'll need

If you're more advance, you know you'll also want to check that your Web host supports the scripting (and versions) you want to use HTML, CGI, Perl, PHP, as well as your database of choice.

Now that you've defined what you'll need, it's time to dig in and find your Web host.

How We Pick Web Hosting Companies

First, we sift through our own brands, and evaluate the different features each of our Web hosting companies has to offer. Every hosting customer is looking for something different; on this site, we feature different web hosts, with different features.  For example, you might be looking for ‘green’ hosting, while other customers are interested in a US-based support team. We have it all, and now we’ve made it easier for you to find the one that best fits your needs.

Next, we surf the Internet on forums, blogs and press releases, looking for other great (and new) web hosting companies. While there are few, we have also included a couple of older, proven hosts, who have received good buzz. Our staff has strict standards, so we have created our own accounts with as many of these hosts as possible – and we’ve tested them for ourselves. With over one million customers using our brands, we have also become good listeners! We pay attention to our users -- what better way to find out who the best website hosting companies are than to talk to the people using them everyday. If the hosts have buzz, the users like them, and they pass our internal tests, then we review and rank them.

The qualities we provide and look for in other web hosts include: good technical support, uptime, price, space and features such as MySQL, PHP, website builder, website templates and so on; basically all the core elements which make a great web hosting package. We also like to see lots of value-added services such as, free search marketing credits, white papers, one-click installs and other free services -- the more bang for the buck, the better. Let’s face it, times are tough and we all want to get the best product at the lowest price. We believe it takes a combination of all those things to make a great host, and if they don't have them, we don't put them on our site!

Who Are We? What Makes Us Web Hosting Experts?

The10bestHost's staff members are dedicated representatives of our company who know the web hosting industry through and through. For over 10 years, our team has worked tirelessly to test, rank, and review the best and worst web hosts in order to strengthen our own brands and discover the value in others.

The10besthosts.com is a site dedicated to those web designers, small business owners and individuals who want to find the best web hosting provider at the best price. Our staff is dedicated to taking the guesswork out of choosing a web host. Our team has signed up and tested web hosting plans from all of our brands and has thoroughly compared them with other web hosting companies out there. Listed above are our teams top overall picks of web hosting providers. Distinguishing one host from another can be a serious challenge – everything looks the same! Not anymore. Our top ten web hosts have been rated on a scale of 1 - 10 by features, control panel, customer service, uptime and speed.

Whatever your need is for a website -- small business or otherwise -- we think everyone can benefit from saving a few extra bucks on web hosting and by getting the right host the first time. Nothing is worse than spending the time building a great website only to find out that your web host is down all the time, or you or you have to wait an hour just to get customer service on the line to help you fix a simple issue. The10besthosts.com's sole mission is to help you choose the right host the first time -- and if we can save you a couple bucks in the process -- awesome!

Just snagged their $3.95 deal for April, you CAN NOT beat that price for a company like Ipower. Hands down the best out there for this price, period.

And I think they are average. Unlimited storage space and bandwidth really mean a decent amount, but nothing fancy. Havent needed tech support yet, will update my review later.

Worst hoting mistake ever
About a year ago, I'd taken this site's advice and bought hosting from Super Green Hosting. The hosting was so bad, the services so subpar that I left after less than six months. The site editor is so very terrible and full of bugs that not only do you get a "Made by free CSS" on the footer of your site (so attractive,) but it won't display anything right if you write your own HTML (I have a degree in graphic design, and I know what I'm doing.) The customer service doesn't care and can't be paid to care. The whole system is a rip off. The absolute worst. I am surprised anyone has the cajones to actually advertise them as a valuable service.

Good company, high price
I'd have given them more but to be honest you can find the same features for a lot less from some big names. I think their concept is good and I hope they are making an impact, I just don't have the extra cash to pay!
