Title: Web Hosting Sites
Post by: Brookenstein on June 17, 2006, 08:55:42 pm: I'm looking to start a website for my new business and don't expect a lot of traffic initially, so I don't need it ecommerce ready or anything. I want it hosted at a fairly inexpensive site (<$8/mo probably) and I would prefer they have a decent selection of templates to choose from.

I've checked out a few
http://www.bluehost.com/
http://www.hostmonster.com/
http://www.dot5hosting.com/
http://www.startlogic.com/
http://www.ixwebhosting.com/
http://partners.powweb.com/powweb/index.bml

Does anyone have any experience with any of these sites? What site do you use/have you used and what do you like/dislike about them? Would you reccomend them?

TIA!
Brooke

Oh, yea all my hottub photos are there. (official forum relevance tie)

I don't use the templates. I like to go with straight html.
