It REALLY pays to choose your web host wisely. I have had my share of good– and bad– and VERY bad– choices. :-p I’m very happy with my current host, but it was two years of ups and downs before things really got settled. Websites are precious things– I make my living off of them. Having a good, reliable (and affordable) web host is SO important. So shopping around, comparing prices and services, and most importantly, reading reviews, is incremental. If you are looking around for some reviews on phpbb web hosting, b2evolution hosting, vBulletin, WordPress, or Joomla web hosting, look no further than WebHostingRating.com. There is a plethora of reviews and comparison shopping there. They also have excellent articles on shared hosting (which I currently have), options of hosting multiple domains (which I am looking into), cPanel tutorials, security issues, FrontPage hosting, and more. It’s a good site to get a view of what’s out there. When you are ready to start up your own home or business presence on the web, I always recommend getting your own domain and hosting your own websites. And the more informed you are from the beginning, the better. Check out WebHostingRating.com for more information.
