Hello Guys, I need your help for selecting best web hosting service for E-commerce website. After collecting information regarding features of web hosting services, I feel below given four hosting services are suitable to my needs. Ipage.com Justhost.com Fatcow.com Greengeeks.com The above hosting services provide unlimited space, bandwidth, email creation, wordpress blog creation, data transfer and live chat service but I have no experience with this hosting services. If you have experience with any one above listed hosting service then please share with me. [Share bad experience first then share good experience] My friend suggested Godaddy but Godaddy doesn’t provide live chat facility and in emergency I have to call from India to US that are expensive for me. You can also share your experience with other web hosting services that provides unlimited space, bandwidth, email creation, domain hosting, forum creation and unlimited data transfer facility. Waiting for your reply, Thanks in ADVANCE.
Each web hosting company has some positives and negatives and name you'd mentioned aren't exceptional cases. Even though each hosting provider will claim that he is the best to get business from you, however, you will have to take the initiative to find out what sort of services the hosting provider offers. Value for money packages, good uptime, round the clock support etc. are the qualities you should look for.
They all would provide you with decent hosting. One thing to remember with "unlimited" hosting is its usually NOT. Generally there are limits set in the small print, either fixed limits or % of server usage. But to be fair unless you get very,very busy you will hardly meet those limits, if you do then its time for a dedi and a new Porsche!
The hosts in your list are more or less similar. Oversellers, with low prices. Godaddy is worse, with their custom control panel etc.
The bandwidth and customer service are two key factors, ofcourse price is also the selection critieria
In case of e-commerce sites, 24/7 customer support plays a very significant role, as nobody wants their website to be down for hours when people shop through your website. Sign-up with them who can offer you 24x7 customer support via multiple channels along with 100% guaranteed uptime.
I can highly recommend vpswebserver for ecommerce hosting services. By using each of them, everything you need for your business website is provided in one ecommerce hosting package. It gives the best mix of pricing, customer support and has a good user interface.
Justhost is well reputed and have excellent customer support as well. hostdepot.com is also very good for quality ecommerce hosting services.
