Hi Rupesh,


It all depends on what you want, so please give us more information so we may help you better.


What do you need for:

Bandwidth?
Space?
Database?
ASP? or PHP?
What languages do you want to use?
FrontPage?

The more info you give, the better we can help :)

Hi Rupesh,

Your confusion is very common and understandable. If you'd like to share a bit about what sort of site you're trying to get hosted it would give people a better idea of what to suggest.. Is it designed for NT Hosting, Linux etc.. Is it a vanilla html site, or does it rely on databases and CGI to function... all those sort of goodies..

Also do you yourself wish to host (such as a reseller account), or as an affiliate, or even just setting their site up with a host and let them take care of everything...

I may have just confused you more *smile* and I apologise. The crux is a suppose, with the amount of option available the more you can narrow it down, the better the option suggested.

Also, what are your deciding factors and any special needs? Is it price, if so, decide how much your monthly budget will be. Is it uptime? High-touch customer service and support? Do you need a control panel to administer your site, or do you prefer FTP?

There are a lot of questions to ask yourself before you shop around for a host to make sure that you and your host are the right fit.

Oh, and there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth, so caveat emptor when it comes to those type of promises.

Good luck.

Okay, so really basic stuff, no bells and whistles. What's your monthly budget for the hosting?

Once you get that determined, you can take all the information and post a thread on the advertising and offers forum and companies will make you offers based on your needs and your budget.

Hi rupeshks,

We do not allow advertising in the main forums so any offers made to you here have been removed :(

There are 3 ways you can look for the right plan:

Try the companies listed in our Budget Spotlight directory (http://www.webhostdir.com/spotlight/budget.asp)

Enter your requirements into our hosting search engine (http://www.webhostdir.com/hostsearch/)

Post you're requirements in the Advertising forum so companies can make you an offer. :)
