I am ashamed to admit how long I spent researchers domain registrars and hosting companies. Deep dives into other companies dredged up a lot of shady price schemes, very poor customer service, tech nightmares, etc. Eventually I found A2 Hosting and I’ve been very happy with them. Top scores for customer service, clear pricing, excellent BBB record and fair & beginner friendly hosting options. They may seem more expensive initially, but my analysis showed me they were very competitively priced. Great company! Highly recommended!
One extremely popular low priced option is Blue Host. There $3.95 a month hosting option is very hard to beat but you will need to commit to 2 or 3 years to reduce your prices. Hosting companies typically offer discounts for multi-year packages. Blue Host also offers deeply discounted introductory offers. Additionally, their Basic shared hosting (from $7.99 per month with 1 year contract) includes a free domain name for 1 year and a free SSL Certificate which is a nice added bonus. Check them out and compare with A2 Hosting’s offerings.
