Calling all hosting companies! Here is a killer domain name for you that is for sale. I know a bunch of you that read WCFA have your own hosting sites, well here is a great domain name for you, Personal Web Hosting. How is that for slam dunking the keywords?

The site is not actually owned by me. Just one I came across, and thought it would make a killer domain name for one of you out there. The site has literally been squatted on. It’s been around since 2001, and has only accumulated about five back links. Looking at the Way Back Machine it looks like it has really has not done anything. Apparently, a great idea that never developed.

This could be a really killer web hosting domain name; keyword rich, has PR so you know Google still likes it, and is also well aged. I didn’t see it listed anywhere, so it look like it’s a for sale by owner kind of deal. You can find all his contact information under the For Sale sign on the website. If you have never bought a domain name from someone who owns it already, I would always suggest using a third party to handle the transaction. I have heard of too many cases going sour on this kind of stuff.

If you get it, post it here, and let us know!

Looking for a new web host, or just to start your first website? Web Hosting Geeks could be a good staring place for you. They don’t actually do hosting though. What they specialize in is reviewing the hosts that are out there, and listing some of those hosts prices and options. It can even be helpful for experienced webmasters. Not every site needs a full blown server. Just write down your criteria, go to their web hosting reviews, and pick the site that right for you. They also review dedicated server hosting.

Details of Hosting Companies

On their home page, you can find the top ten hosts that have been rated by other users. They have the five star ranking (that has been made by voters like you), they have the main comparing features like price and traffic for easy comparison, and they have links for more detailed information.

The break down on the home page is nice, but what I really like about Web Hosting Geeks is their detailed page for each hosts. Besides getting more information about a host (I think that is expected), they have the voting form. This is how they rank those sites. Visitors like you an me, and submit a written review about a host, and also vote on how the hosts ranks for certain common web hosting aspects.

Having scorecards like this for hosts are great. You can see how they rank in general, and you can see any additional moans that other have experience.

Web Hosting Geeks has been around for a few years now. They get tons of visitors (at least 2,000 a day, probably more), and tons of users using those forms making their rating system very effective. Ready to get a new web host? Check out Webmaster Geeks first!

Looking for a web hosting blog? Maybe one that isn’t just filled with referral links, and reviews? Then maybe it’s time to visit Temi’s Blog.

An Actual Blog About Hosting

So the reason I like Temi’s web hosting blog is because it’s not about where to get the best server for cheap. It’s about what makes a good server, and it’s from the perspective of an IT professional.  Temi is an IT professional with a MSc in Internet Technology. I’ve known Temi for a while now, and besides educational qualifications he has a ton of real life experience in the industry.

Temi also has a little more experience than some when comes to web security on ecommerce sites because he was the main developer for Boss Cart, a popular ecommerce software. There is a great post on PCI compliance. I would suggest reading it if your site processes credit cards.

The blog has been around for a while, so there is a ton of great articles. Recently he just did some upgrades to the theme of the site, and I think it’s helping out  is traffic substantially. Server getting your down? You may just want to check out his blog: Temi’s Blog

Instead of writing about hosting review sites like I have in the past, I thought I would review an actual hosting company, McKremie.com.

McKremie.com offers two types of hosting, standard and business. There are two main differences between the two, storage and bandwidth. The standard option comes with 5,000 MB storage, and 1,000 GB of bandwidth per month. That’s way more than enough for most websites out there. The business package offers 15,000 MB of storage and 3,000 GB of bandwidth per month. The prices are $9.95 a month vs. $21.95 a month, and there is the option to even reduce that by 20%  if you buy the space a year at time.

Both packages come with cPanel administration, offer 24×7 support, and are free to set up. Many hosting companies charge up to $20 for setting up a domain. The servers support cgi, php, Ruby, Perl, and MySQL. They additionally come with Zen Car and WordPress pre-installed. If you visit their comparison page, and look on the right column there is a sample login so you can check out the user experience. If you haven’t registered your domain yet, they also offer domain lookup, and registration for just $10.95 for a dot com.  Money Back Guarantee, and they take accept Visa, Master Card, American Express, Discover Card and Paypal payments.

Hey, I actually found a hosting review site that does not list Host Monster as number two. In fact they don’t even have Host Monster on their list at all. They are called Web Hosting Union, and they do business web hosting reviews. Not all hosting companies are designed for the same thing, and a site that is made for your business could benefit by being on a hosting site designed for business, not the casual user.

The number one business hosting company was Lunar Pages, see Lunarpages Hosting Review. The reviews are based on speed, uptime, ease of use, and customer service. Lunarpages offers a pretty huge amount of disk space, 1,500 gb, and even more for bandwidth, 15,000 gb per month. There is no set up fee, and only costs $7.95 a month.

Looking at their basic package they had three different shopping cart platforms pre-installed, and also included a free SSL certificate. Those are some pretty good reasons to consider business specific hosting sites.

Web Hosting Union updates their reviews weekly, and their reviews are not for profit done by web hosting experts.
