You need to have a great web hosting company in order to run a great online business and…
I have more shared hosting and dedicated web hosting servers than I can count on both hands.
And not even my web properties manager can tell me with absolute certainty how many domains or shared hosting accounts we have.
So if anyone knows about web hosting I’d say I do.
And I’d like to share my favorite web hosts with you so you can avoid some of the hassles I have over the years.
One thing, though:
No host is perfect.
But some are definitely better than others…
And the ones below are ones that we either use in our own business, or have done the research and feel they offer great service and value.
Here are a few web hosting deals I recommend you check out for yourself:
Consumer Notice: These are affiliate links. If you click them and sign up with the hosting company, I may get paid a commission.

Jeff , I have to disagree with you about Using Bluehost. I started with them almost 2 years ago but they have gone down hill since. My pages are down a lot plus with some of my blogs weird things get screwed up a lot. I am going to move in the summer when my hosting expires. Here to prove it….check out my feed here http://autismblog/feed/ . It isn’t there. I have 3 like that.

I think I have been with Bluehost for nine years and am yet to experience any serious problems.

I like your list, even if I can’t agree on all recommendations.
But check out some other reviews. You will find a different top 10 list at each of them. So you must due your due diligence anyhow before you sign up for a Host.
And as Jeff told, there ain’t no PERFECT hosting companies out there. I personally host at Hostmonster and am happy like most are, but some are not.
And about the affiliate link complain. I’m always getting SICK of those guys which think that they are getting something for free if there wouldn’t be a affiliate commission.
Wake up man, that’s how economy works.
Someone has something to sell what someone need or like to buy, and the commission is the reward for recommending a great product. What’s wrong with that ?
At my Squidoo Lens I have a totally unique way to rank Hosts, maybe you are interested to see the most unbiased Top 10 Webhosting list available.

I guess Kristof probably does not post any ads or affiliate links… ??
Bo Tipton says
Thank you for the list Jeff. I already use Host Gator and have for several years after being at the Hosting Company from Hell which is no longer in business. I also use Zoot host because of the admin there.
I am currently using another host which I think is the Hosting Company for Hell’s little brother so I am looking to move . Host Gator and Zoot are great but I do not want all my eggs in one basket.
This list came along at just the right time so thanks.

I find it difficult to trust recommendations when they’re posted as affiliate links.
Jeff Johnson says:
That’s really a strange statement …. do you not trust search results from yahoo, msn or google simply becasue they include advertisement links?
And do any of the sites you acccess for free have ads on them? If so, isn’t that an endoresement from them to visit their sponsors?
Does that mean you shouldn’t trust your favorite sites simply becasue they need to make money by allowing ads… so they can continure operations for you?
I give away tons of great content for free.
But I also make my living recommending products I believe in, or from people I trust.
And it’s well known I make my living as an affiliate marketer… that’s what pays the bills and allows me to keep producing free content and maintaining my free software and blogs.
So if I include a link, it’s worth checking out.
You don’t have to buy it, you have the choice not to.

Hi Jeff
You nailed it, just like you have done, affiliating to web hosts is a great way to make money, care to let us all in on how much you have made off this post so far and while you are at it how about showing the struggling newbies that visit your site how to do it for themselves. I did something similar some years back but then it was a lot slower to make money as there were not so many folk looking to host a site or two or three.
I am about to go for it again using some of the tricks I have learned from other internet marketers and will keep you posted if you like.
If it works I’ll even show others how to do it (in a year or two) once I have made my way clear financially.
Anyway, cheers and good luck
Jeff Johnson: this entire site is dedicated to helping struggling marketers learn how to do it.
There are well over 60 turorial and seminar videos inside this blog, or linked to from my blog… probably closer to 75.
As for how much I’ve made…. not enough to compensate me for the time, effort and expense it takes me to keep the free content flowing.. at least not directly.
but I’ve been doing it for 4 years now and will keep doing it as long as you guys keep enjoying it 🙂
