You will have to search far and wide to find a customer who has anything negative to say about Hosthead, in fact you will have a problem finding an ex customer as those with them tend to remain a customer for a very long time. Launched in 2001, HostHead has consistently provided hosting solutions that exceed customer expectations with glowing customer reviews on many of the webmaster forums. With their data center located in Milwaukee Wisconsin the risk of natural disaster puts them in 50th position and yes, lower the better for this particular league table.

Monthly shared plans start at $4.95 a month but you only get one domain name hosted for this and 1 email account. The band-width is pretty decent at 5gb a month however my choice for a starting package that you won’t grow out of too quickly would be thier next package up at $9.95 a month and a whopping 100GB of data transfer unlimited domains hosted and 10 email accounts.

Hostheads VPS hosting also looks pretty juicy, a basic VPS hosting plan will set you back $29.00 a month, probably the cheapest I have seen. Managed dedicated hosting starts at $99 a month but again, in an ever changing world you are better off comparing like for like plans in real time as what I post here could be dated with faster and newer processors next week.

High quality hosting at a more affordable price. Launched in 1998 Hosting 4 Less own and operate all their web hosting, in other words they are not a reseller. Hosting4Less have several plans to suit all budgets however they are one of the few I have seen which offer a flexible approach. If you cann’t see a plan that fits your exact needs they invite you to contact them for a custom plan tailored specifically for yourself.

We pride ourselves on not over saturating our data lines. We continue to add bandwidth before your site comes to a screeching halt. The largest complaint from transferring customers is slow response time from tech support and poor connection speeds. Once they become part of our hosting family, they experience a marked improvement in both areas.

Basic shared hosting starts at just $9.95 a month and for your money you get 5GB storage and 100GB of monthly data transfer, ideal for those starting out. Hopefully your web site will grow in popularity and then you can look at upgrading your plan to what they are calling their professional shared hosting plan at $19.95. For this you get double the allocated bandwidth and disk storage, personally I feel they could have done better on this price, you are not saving anything on a Professional plan over two basic plans, in fact you are 5 cents worse off.

When you move up again you are getting better value for money, the Shared Hosting Developer Plan at $29.95 will give you 15GB of space and 400GB of transfer, all plans come with the listed key pointers that you will see at the foot of this page. They do offer dedicated starting at $249 and reseller hosting plans with some pretty impressive specifications which I am not going to print as they are upgrading them all the time.

Certified Hosting was established back in 1999 in Southern California. They are rapidly excelling to the fore front as a leader in the web hosting world offering both unlimited disk space and unlimited bandwidth. Unlimited bandwidth is always a sore subject amongst professionals, some stating that there is no such thing although Certified do stand by their unlimited claims. They do however request that you should keep in mind unlimited bandwidth does not mean unlimited server resources.

Uptime and reliability are what all web hosts live and die by. It doesn’t matter how feature packed and fancy you make the offering, if you haven’t got the reliability you will suffer. Certified Hosting again excel when it comes to reliability with a proven 10+ years record of delivering their 99.99% uptime promise. If you search the user boards you will see plenty of glowing references and few if any complaints.

Basic shared hosting starts at $8.95 a month for their Dork plan which is reduced to $4.95 if you pay two years in advance. You get quite a lot for your money with the Dork package however I would find having just the one domain name hosted restrictive. The Geek package is the next one up at $9.95 a month with unlimited domain name hosting, this offers far better value. Reseller packages start at $19.95 a month and fully managed dedicated starts at $174.00, all plans giving their 99.99% uptime guarantee.

Through the cPanel admin there is a whole host of goodies to help you build a killer web site from 1 click installations of shopping carts, blogging platforms and tube scripts to website templates and builders.  Support wise they are pretty quick and responsive, I tested the response myself with a support ticket status of Medium and I received a reply in just over an hour.

HostGator is one of the world leaders when it comes to providing shared, reseller and dedicated web hosting. This USA based firm was founded in 2002 by current President and CEO Brent Oxley. Now with over 250,000 customers it has come a long way since it was started in the confines of a dorm room at Florida Atlantic University with just three servers.

Since then, HostGator has grown from a small hosting company into a world leading and industry recognized hosting provider with more than 7,000 servers under management and over two and a half million domain names are now hosted by HostGator which also makes up approximately 1% of the world’s Internet traffic.

Basic shared hosting starts at $4.95 a month and although this gives you unlimited band width and disk space you do only get the one domain name. $7.75 a month and you get unlimited domain names, all plans come with cPanel and Fantastico.

Next level up is their VPS hosting which starts at $19.95 a month although to be honest, you get what you pay for and I personally wouldn’t recommend their entry level VPS. The higher spec VPS does look better but depending on your needs this is something you might consider as your site and portfolio grows.

As most hosting companies do, Hostgator also provides an attractive looking reseller plan. How does reseller hosting work I hear you ask? After signing up, you receive access to a special Hostgator reseller control panel, Web Host Manager. Web Host Manager allows you to manage and provide your customers with their own user control panels (cPanel) which will enable them to create and modify their own web sites.

Once your customer is logged into cPanel they are able to control sub domains, email addresses, passwords and much more without requiring any assistance. However, be sure to read our dedicated page on reseller hosting in the side menu and top navigation bar.

• Unlimited Bandwidth
• Free SiteBuilder
• Easy Control Panel
• 4,500 Free Website Templates
• 99.9% Uptime Guarantee

Xilo is another of the UK based companies that we have featured her at Website Hosting Plans. XILO was incorporated at Companies House on 12 December 2007 and is registered in England and Wales. All the hosting accounts available at Xilo are located on their very own servers in the UK and with network connectivity provided by multiple Tier 1 providers ensuring that your UK based web site loads super fast.

A very basic shared hosting account with Xilo offering 1GB of storage, 10GB of monthly bandwidth, 2 MySQL and unlimited parked domains will set you back £24.99 for the YEAR. Monthly options are not available on the lower end plans until your reach the SH-7 plan at £6.99 a month for 7GB of storage and 75GB monthly bandwidth allowance.

Like any good host Xilo offers Reseller, VPS and Dedicated hosting plans, to be honest if you are looking for a UK host Xilo have just about a plan for everyone and every budget. One plan I haven’t seen anyone else offering is what Xilo are calling their Premium Hosting range. This range is being sold as packages for those that require a greater share of the server resources with a 99.99% uptime promise and a better all round service.

Some might argue why should you pay more for a premium service, surely the standard shared hosting should be just as reliable? A basic premium service starts at £9.99 a month and after comparing the differences between Premium and standard shared hosting this is the package I would plump for.
