What’s the Best Hosting for Blogs?

What kind of hosting do you really need for blogs? What are important qualities for a blog or simple website host to possess?

Here’s some that are important to me:

  1. Reliability
  2. Ease of use
  3. Reasonable price
  4. Useful options in control panel
  5. High uptime guarantee
  6. Money back guarantee
  7. Reasonable amount of included bandwidth
  8. Reasonable amount of included server space
  9. Quality customer support and quick responses
  10. Useful statistics

I’ve used many different hosting companies over the years and in my opinion the best is HOSTGATOR. Easy to set-up, reliable, low cost. $7.95/month - not bad.

An added bonus is the simple set-up for Wordpress, using Fantastico. This feature helps you automatically install the Wordpress script and set up the MySQL database too. Nice option to have if you’re not familiar with setting up databases.
