When I started off online I had no idea what I was doing.  I started purchasing domain names through Godaddy.  I don’t remember if I chose then because they where one of the more popular sites of their kind or the cheapest.

If your looking to register a domain name then there is nothing wrong with Godaddy.   The problems began when I started hosting my websites with them.

Godaddy has the website tonight feature for those of us who do no know a thing about designing a website.  Website tonight is a simple online program that allows you to add blocks of text or images so you can have a site online in minutes.  Using these types of programs limits how your site design will look, but if you are a newbie this could be just what your looking for.

I had a web designing program already so I didn’t need this feature.  You can use a free program like NVU for free to design your site.  NVU is a HTML editor similar to expensive programs like Dreamweaver or Frontpage.  With a HTML editor you don’t need to know any code, and you can design your site to look any way you would like it to.  You simply click, drag, and drop the graphics on your computer screen.  Then using a ftp program you can upload your site to your webhost.

Godaddy’s hosting is inexpensive and their service is reliable.  They contacted me phone several times to see if I wanted to save money by purchasing a years worth of hosting.  They were polite, and no high pressure sales tactics were used.  The Godaddy representatives I spoke with asked if I had any questions or concerns, and quickly took care of any billing issues I had.

Now with the excellent customer service that Godaddy offers it is a shame that they do not have cpanel.  I purchased the launch formula marketing membership software, and spent hours trying to figure out how to install it on my website that was hosted on Godaddy.  Then I found out that it could only be installed through cpanel.  I immediately switched hosting providers, and was able to install the software with no problem.  Using cpanel makes a webmasters life so much easier.  I don’t understand why Godaddy does not have it.

Since goddaddy I have tried kiosk.ws and host gator.  I am now using three hosting services and it is costing me a fortune.  This is my own fault since I could host unlimited domains for a flat rate using one hosting service, instead of three different ones.  I will be taking care of this soon, and saying goodbye to Godaddy, and making a choice between Kiosk.ws and Hostgator.

I’ve used several hosting companies over the years and as you probably know, they can be great for several months and then suddenly start having problems. I’ve been using Squiggout for about a year now and am quite impressed by them. Their website states that they have chosen as a top ten host.

I can host unlimited domains and I have more than enough disk space (5000Mb) and bandwidth (200Gb) for myself and my clients.

They have provided better than 99.9% uptime and they notify me of any down time due to upgrades, which is always minimal and occurs in the wee hours of the morning.

I pay by subscription via PayPal, which is more convenient for me. The package I have is about $10 a month, but they offer an even cheaper package which is great if you only have one or two domains to host. They also have larger packages plus a reseller package.

I only have one cpanel, which makes it easier to manage my domains using only one ftp account, although multiple ftp accounts are available. I chose Unix shared hosting and CPanel because that is what I am used to, and many say that Unix is more reliable than Windows hosting.

You also get Fantastico, which has the WordPress blog which so many of us use, and they also provide a website builder which I have not used.
