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.

Hi! Thanks for that list! But i’m from Russia so it’s easier for me to have russian hosting server, is it ok to have business in ( american =) ) internet with russian hosting server?
P.S. Sorry about my english))
Jeff Johnson: I’m sure it’s possible but not ideal.

I’ve been using LunarPages for years, too. I recommend them to everybody. I’ve found them to be VERY reliable, with great support the few times I’ve needed it. And they treat their current customers as well as their prospective ones: if they offer a “special” for new customers, they also offer it current ones… and most businesses don’t do that. (generous affiliate program, too!)
Joseph Ting says
Jeff, you shouldn’t make this web hosting list so big.
In the title, you said best web hosting and I thought it will be only ONE.
With this, it should be A list of recommended web hosting.
With this big list, people might get confused and blurred.
But if you add rating to each of them or ranking, it will help greatly.
Jeff Johnson: Sorry, but there is no “one’ “best” hosting company..
But if you need just one to start with I’d go with http://HostGatorSpecialOffer.com

Hi Jeff,
This was a timely post for me. There are so many hosting companies out there and I’ve recently canceled my account at one (not listed) because they made it extremely difficult to upload simple html pages.
In your opinion, is this the a trend for hosting companies, only supporting php pages?
Thanks again and I’ll be doing my ‘due dilligence’ over the weekend.
Jeff Johnson: I doubt any hosting comany would severly limit themselves and their clients by only supporting php.

Hi Jeff, you don’t have to post this on the public side of your blog if you don’t want.
My name is Gerry Aubin, I specialize in the manufacturing of diamond engagement rings. I am looking for someone who can generate traffic and you seem to be the guy (or perhaps one of your apprentices) for the job.
A little over 2 years ago, I got a taste of online traffic, and the numbers that came with it.
I know that there are many keyword phrases for engagement rings that are popular and undertargeted by people actually selling diamonds online.
I am proposing a 50% split of profits on the sales of online engagement rings. I don’t have the time to “Do it yourself” like what all of this stuff preaches, nor would I enjoy it 🙂
I do however have a $25,000 photo studio setup to take care of producing the images of the finely crafted rings that I produce. Items that sell for as little as $1000 to as high as $300,000++
My big advantage is the ability to reproduce any diamond ring from just an image, and it has made me super busy and in demand for exactly that. I have sold my retail store in Canada, and am moving to California this fall. I do not wish to re-enter the traditional retail market place. I would much rather deal with client support online, and take care of manufacturing the next sale.
At this point, I would like to test your traffic getting methods with perhaps one area of the engagement ring business. That is the area that is in high demand right now (in my shop anyways) of antique style engagement rings.
If you had the time to build a site, market it, I could be order fulfillment department from front to back. Would you (or someone you know) be interested in something like that?
From the test of 2-3 engagement ring based longtail keywords, I am sure you could potentially like what this partnership would offer.
If you’re too busy, I understand. However, if you wish to entertain the thought, don’t hesitate to call me
I appreciate your time, as I realize you must be super busy with everything that you do.
Regards,
Gerry Aubin
Jeff Johnson,
Gerry, it sounds like you have a great business.
But it isn’t a market I’m currently in and I have no plans to enter it any time soon.. I just launched a new coaching club and I take a lot of time off in the summer to be with my kids while they are still you and enjoy my company 🙂
But… get a site, work on coversions, then set up an affiliate program with a well established affiliate network and start building relationships with leaders in your market.
And I feell 50% is probably too generous on your part for a diamond ring… I would think 10 -15% would be enough incentive for affiliates in your market.
Check cj.com and see what our competition is paying, and pay just a little bit more.
Justin says
If you are still reading this Mr G, I would love to help you with your business and I agree 10-15% would be enough for a high ticket item like a diamond engagement ring.

Hi Everybody,
Hey I recently found out about your site all I can say is where the hell you been?!! ( just kidding ) Hey Anthony I am a real “new bee” and I tried to download the SEO optimized software and I just got lost. I tried to follow the video install guide but no luck Can you tell me in 25 words or less an easy simple way to attach it to my Blog?
Thanks, TC
Jeff Johnson says: It doesn’t “attach ” to your blog, it is a blog.
there’s no way to explain it in a blog comment.
Contacting your hosting company for help is always a good start.
And if you are in my private coaching club… my guys in the tech support forums will be able to help you.
