Web hosting for Business and Fun

As we grow our online business I have found that there are many great hosting companies to choose from, so many in fact that it is very confusing. Each offers a different set of features and it depends on which business you are in as to which would suit you.

In Australia we have set up just a small site at Crazy Domains. We have found them cheap and reliable for that site and they have a range of packages. Our ecommerce sites though are based in the US and Canada because that is where most of our business comes from and because we wanted a different package of tools with our site.

So after a long review I chose our main web host as SBI and I previously wrote just a few words about them in a blog a week or two back. Watch the video for more information: SBI Video Introduction

As great as they are they may not suit your particular type of business or hobby or interest. So here is a good review site that will help Hosting Review site. Their top 10 lists organised into categories can be found here: Hosting Directory Top 10 Lists. Another good review site is TopHosts.

And there are many many more web site reviews to choose from.

Depending on which site you choose you may find you still need to install other packages such as WordPress. Maybe you can do that yourself and there is certainly lots of information at their site at http://www.wordpress.org or you may want to get someone to help. Well I came across this useful site earlier today that seems to offer exactly that service for a small annual charge: http://www.simplescripts.com

Back to business, today we are publishing a survey and I will use some PPC to promote that to the correct market. More on that another time.

Stay positive
