The Right Web Host is like a Needle in the Haystack

This is for all you people losing sleep over finding the best host.
The right web host is hard to find. I know, cause it’s, “been there, done that!” Paintful Productions was in need of a new good web host (with more features than the measly 20MB free space offered by my ISP). That led me on a tedious hunt for the best choice. I went through nearly 2 dozen rotten offers, learning along the way that there is not such thing as a good offer below $6.95. Their is always a price to pay, whether unreliable hosting, or upfront payments (which are risky if the hosting company kicks the bucket just after you pay. That does happen!).
You can always go with some big names that you know will provide quality such as Dreamhost, GoDaddy, or HostGator, but they don’t necessarily provide the features you need such as low prices, enough web space, monthly rates (that is, actually paid monthly not yearly!). Their low prices are if you risk to sign on with them for 12-24 months and pay them upfront. Ya right!

So, what were the results of my long search? Simply Eleven2 Hosting

I was amazed at the price they offered their feature filled packages. And when they say $6.95/month, they mean paid by month!
I checked them up on WebHostingTalk forums and got spotless reviews and recomendations about them. Then, to top it off, they have what’s probably the best support ever! They offer phone, email, forum support, but what beats all that is their instant & friendly IM support. Just fire up AIM, and they are there to help you. Try it out, drop by and say hi.

Of course, this is my first day with them… but I believe they will stick to their promise and provide the hosting they boast.

If you are still not convinced, stay tuned to this blog as I will document my experience with them.
