Owning different websites is a must in this industry. On this list would be your WordPress blogs, which you will find is needed with each different niche that you pursue. Having a reliable yet inexpensive hosting service is a must. My personal favorite is Bluehost yet a lot of people seem to like Hostgator. A few other services that I have heard are really good are Monster Host, Just Host, IPage and Green Geeks.
You will be able to get a domain name for less than $10 per year. I will recommend buying domain from Netfirms as it is cheap and reliable. It will only cost you $5.95 to buy a domain name.
How about U.S.-based client support and make that 24/7, please. You know that some web hosts only equip clients to contact home base through email? Is that your best choice for an on-line partner? When your site is down? And you don't know why?
When a user notices that your pages load slow, his immediate reaction is to click away. Every time a user read more "bounces" off your site due to loading problems or boring content, you are sending hundreds of dollars straight to coffers - those of your competitors.
Each of these plans contains the standard features for all Web Hosting Buzz programs. If you are not fully satisfied with these programs in a period of 30 days, you can get your money back guaranteed. All plans feature full e-commerce as well as fast 24/7 tech support for your convenience. Multi-language control panels and blog and picture capabilities also come as standard with each and every plan Web Hosting Buzz offers.
24/7 customer support and a guarantee of 99.9% up time is also a must in my opinion. Nothing worse than having your site go down. Also a pain if you a problem with your site and your hosting company doesn't offer 24/7 live support. Been there and done that. Have to email for support and just hope they get back to you in a reasonable amount of time.
