See that beautiful ad to the bottom right? The trusted, approved and used by Anthony ad? Well, I’d like to introduce you to my hosting company. These are the people that bring my blog to you without interruption.
HostMonster is found on top of most web hosting reviews, and one of the most frequently used hosting services around. While they may have some similar features and benefits as others, HostMonster provides me some very distinct differences that should help you choose a service that’s right for your blog.
Pricing
The price is always on the mind of us bloggers looking for hosting services, Right now you can get a 24-month contract with HostMonster for $5.95 a month. The service has outperformed my expectations and always delivers.
Features
Many features of the two web hosting are comparable. One big difference I like a lot is that HostMonster uses cPanel when a lot of other companies don’t. This was a big selling point for me, as I didn’t want to have to be a techie to figure this out. Even if I were to run into a situation, HostMonster support is always there and willig to help offering unlimited domain names and email accounts and, have shopping cart capabilities, spam filters, streaming audio/video options, and MySQL databases are all a plus. Simple Scripts make it very easy to set up my WordPress application without any trouble. HostMoster is literally telling you they provide unlimited bandwidth and disk space, so take advantage of that!
Security
HostMonster pride themselves in excellent security, using SSL and encryption to secure any information exchanged between your customers and your website. HostMonster also gives you SSH or Secure Shell Access, meaning you have a very secure channel when making changes to your blog.
Customer Support
Customer Service is the best way to make your decision when choosing a hosting company. HostMonster provides 24/7 phone support and live chat (which I love!). HostMonster also guarantees a wait time of less than two minutes for phone support, and all HostMonster phone support is handled within the United States (Outstanding). HostMonster does also off tutorials if your feeling confident about your tech skills!
How do you make money?
HostMonster gives you $175 in free search engine advertising credits, as well as one free domain name for life, free set up (with two-year or longer plan), and free domain privacy service. Offering a no-questions-asked 30-day money back guarantee was the clincher for me. HostMonster affiliates are generously paid $65.00 per paid referral.
Conclusion
Currently I’ve just renewed my two year contract with HostMonster and very happy. If you have any questions about HostMonster of services they provide please feel free to contact me.
