Web Hosting Geeks Do All The Work For You
I don’t know about you, but in the past 10 years or so being online, I don’t know how many times I’ve changed hosting companies. It really has gotten so out of hand, that I cannot count on one hand the number of times I’ve moved websites.
I wish I’d known about the reviews you can find over at webhosting geeks.
Visiting their website today I was astounded at the number of hosting companies – not only out there – but listed in an easy-to-use directory. Yep, they’ve taken most of the work out of finding a decent one and posted it all there in black and white (and other cool colors) so you can select a hosting company just right for you.
A visit to just their front page immediately shows you:
o The top 10 highest rated hosting companies
o Features like how much space you get, how much traffic you can have without it impacting your bandwidth, and the price
o Bonus features! Every hosting companies offers something extra (okay maybe not every one, but those listed in the top 10 certainly do) like a free domain forever, and marketing bonuses to get you headed on the right track for doing business online.
You also can easily click on any link for even more information.
But it doesn’t end there!
Down the left hand sidebar you’ll be astounded at even more ratings, the awards these “geeks” have won since 2004 (I love a website with longevity, that says a ton), along with links out to the Web Hosting Geeks’ Blog.
Loving blogs, of course I had to click.
Their most recent post (at the time of the writing of this post) is their April 14th, called Is Your Business Website Secure?.
Excellent advice to read, especially with the increase in attacks and hackers apparently with a ton of time on their hands. Why be sitting on hosting that does nothing to protect your hard-earned, hard worked asset – your online domain!
Here’s another post I found, that I think you’ll also find fascinating. It’s called Fantastico: cPanel’s Best Kept Secret.
Of course you’ll find even more information and stay up to date just by bookmarking the webhostinggeeks blog
If you’ve chosen the “lazy man’s (or woman’s) way” of creating a website, you might find your current hosting company short on this amazing feature. Fantastico is a wealth of ready-made, one click installations of a large variety of extra goodies for your website:
o Forums
o Shopping carts
o Blog installations
o Drupal (community building)
o Wikis
o and a whole lot more.
The great thing is you don’t have to know how to install a single thing, if your hosting includes Fantastico!
Frankly, I could spend hours looking around Webhosting Geeks at all the tools, resources, suggestions, and recommendation the folks over at webhosting geeks provide (and you should, too!)
Never, ever rush into choosing a hosting service. Always do your homework. And again, their website is the perfect stop to begin to make sure you choose the best hosting for your needs.
Enjoy!

I use the webhosting service with Cpanel and one thing I like is Fantastico that can be used to install blogs like Wordpress.
It is very easy to use it.

I also want to add if I may that you may want to consider watching the free drupal tutorials here as well as on the home page please click the learn more link, the student is guided step by step how to install Drupal with simplescripts, simplescripts lets you install whatever version of drupal you want where as fantastico forces you to install the latest release. For beginners this is even easier than using fantastico. I appreciate the incredible tips you offered, please continue I loved your post.

Webhosting is very competitive nowadays and a lot of providers provide a lot of special perks to get their customers. Personally I like hosting with Singapore web hosting provider as their support and uptime has been great so far.

To make comparisons between web hosting service providers is a good tactic when you are researching your new web host. Unfortunately, the most basic requirement is to have reliable reviews. Reliability is the key factor that lack from web hosting review websites that dominate first 10 results of google under the keyword “web hosting”. My humble opinion is that web hosting geeks stands from the crowd due to its large diversity. They have their own ratings, but also they give to web hosting clients the opportunity to tell to the rest of us what their experiences with their current company are. If you want to learn more about web hosting, visit my personal website where I port articles about the industry. It is my personal effort to analyze every term and technology that is related with web hosting services.
