cornucopic choices
So one of my friends is in the process of trying to set up a web-based forum for a company he eventually intends on launching and running.... something about physical fitness and gyms and all that crazy metal-lifting stuff - being the scrawny twig I am, I kind of zoned out on the specifics. The point I am trying to make, though, is that finding a company to go with for your hosting solutions online these days is a little complicated.
Why? There are a lot of web hosting companies. An absolutely amazing number of them, actually. The good news for people new to the market, or people like me who have not been shopping for a while, is that there are a few websites out there to help us out, such as WebHostingChoice.
Just the front page alone is useful, given that it lists what it considers to be the top ten web hosters out there, and provides specifics as to the price, setup fees, disk space, data transfer (bandwidth, for you technical types), the year the company was established, and their overall rating. However, on top of offering a reasonably comprehensive database of hosting providers, it also has a decent learning center, providing explanations of various scams newbies might trip over, just what bandwidth is, and some other details good to know when shopping.
Me, I am happy with my current hosting solution, but I am certainly not one to disdain free, comprehensive information, especially since it might make the search process a little easier.
And, no, "cornucopic" probably is not a real word...
