A website hosting company is as good as the services it provides to its customer. To compare from the best of the best, you need to know if they provide good speed, bandwidth, 1 click install, enough disk space and  good customer service to get value for money.

I have  a hosting account with most of the webhosts featured over here at some stage and listed them comparing all these essential web hosting features.  While not all of them listed here in below table are Australian based hosting, most of the companies are US based servicing clients on a global basis. I prefer US based hosts as they are cheaper have multiple upgrade hosting options available compared to aussie hosts  and have a better custom or standard cpanel dashboard for administering  and building your website.

The software and quality of the  web-hosting company you choose can have a substantial impact on your success online and so it is important to start with the right choice.

Below is a Quick top 3, I recommend if you are on a budget and just starting!

Before I started my blog I pussyfooted around a lot as to where to get my blog hosting from and finally decided to get it from a US web Hosting company, even though my blog is based in Australia and Australian focussed, it was because of the huge price difference.

The other factor that eventually supported my decision was that you will get a lot of US traffic to your blog even if your blog or website is Australian focused and Australian based, so it does benefit speed wise for your website loading faster to viewers in both countries.

Some features that are desirable in a hosting provider:

Unlimited domain hosting – you can host multiple domains names (www) in 1 hosting account (which means you can have more than one website in one account). The cheaper plans normally don’t provide this, but if your lucky you still can get a shared plan within $5 and under that provides you with the ability to host multiple blogs under one shared package.

Free Site builder Or wordpress support– All providers support wordpress, but not all have an inbuilt site builder. If you’re building a website with wordpress ( which is what I recommend) then you don’t need a site builder included as its easy and quick to build a website with wordpress.

Email Account: Not all providers give you an email account with your domain name, but most of them listed here do so. So if you got a website blahblah.com then you would be able to get an email such as yourname@blahblah.com for yourself for free. It is important to get a domain email to look more professional

Uptime Guarantee – You don’t want your hosting-company having downtime, which means you are paying them for hosting your website and their servers are overloaded and crashing all the time and so your website is not showing to your viewers or its just taking ages to load because of bad slow servers – not good. Most of the providers listed here have 99.9 % uptime. Page speed and load time are important.

Comparison of website hosting /Blog hosting

Below are some of the top hosting providers in the website and blogging industry, which also include a few which I am currently using with my affiliate referral and discount links. These are well known to established and pro bloggers, with most of these providers already in this industry for more than 10+ years.

The below list focuses more on starter plans featuring shared hosting packages $1 to 5.95 a month ( cheap web hosting ) compared to providers with VPS hosts and premium hosting packages that can range from $29 to $65 a month.

Below I am comparing hosting packages from many hosting providers to find the best features for your website at the best price for your budget

I have written a Recommended against the providers, for the ones I think I would readily sign up for a second account right now.

I’m a bit in favour to Hostmonster with their service speed and other ratings,  as I had a blog for 7 years on their platform and never really had a problem. If you really want good speed and your blog to flourish, I would recommend their pro plan at approximate $14 .95 a month to whihc I had upgraded – rather than their budget shared plan starting at $4.95

Hostmonster’s this  $14.95 package compares well to some of the premium hosts pricing of $29 to $39  that is offered elsewhere as premium fast hosting.

Loading speed of your website among other ranking factors is a big factor, for your website or blog and so choosing a hosting company that meets all the essential criteria for your website is important. SSD storage  is a new feature that can improve site speed but not as much important compared to other factors.

It is necessary for your hosting solution provider to have a variety of shared hosting plans as well as dedicated server packages for when you want to upgrade.

FREE Domain Name with Webhosting?

Our list above compares local hosting or buying a hosting service for your website, but if you have not purchased a domain name yet – I recommend two providers.

The one I use is Godaddy.com (one of the best) for mainly domain names purchasing and if you are getting hosting from one of the providers above,  sometimes you also get a free domain with the webhosting package.

The other one is Bluehost who also offer a free domain name with  their shared $3.95 webhosting plan. They fall into the category of  “cheap hosting” and “shared web hosting” for their competitive prices offered and are recommended by wordpress.org as well.

If you intend to get multiple domain names over a period of time, I would suggest Go Daddy as they also provide transfer of domains from other registrars, plus many blogging/website related services all in one place. They have good  host & domains promo offers on a regular basis and  has 24/7 US phone support.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Today there are text” _builder_version=”3.27.4″]

Today there are a growing trend of  new types of website-hosting including cloud hosting and green hosting, however for beginner blogs the shared plans to be the most popular mainly based on price factor.

The information and listing given above is generally what you will need to get started with a hosting company and choose a suitable hosting provider, but if you want to research a bit further, do read on and I will provide more general information on wordpress hosting

How to Choose the Best WordPress Hosting?

There are various different types of WordPress hosting options available such as Free, Shared, VPS, Dedicated, and Managed WordPress hosting. Generally, the shared hosting is one of the cheapest hosting-options ($3 to $5 a month) available and this should be suitable for most beginners in blogging or people starting a website.

If you are looking to start an online shop you can still use wordpress + woocommerce option, but a fully automated online shop solution is better supported with a Shopify solution. SSL certificates are also a important feature to have with eCommerce sites. Godaddy has a wide range of types of SSL certificates with different security levels that they sell. Content Delivery Network (CDN) and Cloudflare would also be a good addon to consider  if your hosting an online store.

The above listings are all shared hosting plan prices, with most of them also offering VPS or Dedicated hosting. Most Shared hosting plans easily handles traffic anywhere from 1000 to 4000 visits a day to your website without any problems or slowness.

Once you  are getting over 2000 visits a day you can easily generate some money from the traffic either from AdSense or other methods, and it’s time for you to consider moving to a more optimised hosting provider anyway to get the most from your blog traffic.

If you Are getting more than 2,000 to 4,000 Unique visits a day to your blog, it is worth checking out a CDN or then even VPS or Dedicated server hosting. When traffic  gets this big on your blog it is wise to do regular speed testing, check uptime  and have DDos protection enabled for further security.

The technical Bits – So what is Linux hosting Vs windows hosting

To most people, this won’t matter, unless your more technical minded and worry if your hosting uses Linux hosting or windows hosting. But irrespective of type, both of them do the job efficiently for your website.

Linux and windows are just two different server systems or software which hold your website files and make it all work. Both Windows and Linux support the popular wordpress blogging platform and other website software, however wordpress is more popularly supported by Linux.

The only difference  between the hosting type is, if it is virtual private server or  dedicated hosting server  or shared web hosting  with virtual and dedicated normally being a bit faster in speed and pricier.

Most providers give you a custom control admin panel or cpanel which makes managing the backend of your website easy anyway, so it doesn’t matter if its windows or Linux based solution.

[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label="know yourserver" _builder_version="3.27.4" background_image="https://www.digitalgrog.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/ksplash.png" parallax="on" custom_margin="10px|10px|10px|10px" custom_padding="10px|10px|10px|10px" border_radii="on|10px|10px|10px|10px" border_color_bottom="#1f78c1" box_shadow_style="preset1"]

Know Your  Server and Software

Control panel – A cpanel control panel is very easy to navigate and do admin things on the backend of your hosting panel, so if they have this its a plus for you.  Most packages have a control panel/cpanel

Google AdWords  – Google/Facebook or Bing Adwords Free bonus provided with a plan is a good bonus to start some free advertising on the search engines for your website.  This can be used to get some free advertising traffic to your website when you start.

1 click install  – I click install makes it easy to install wordpress quickly and easily. This is the preferred blogging software among bloggers.

Unlimited Bandwidth  – Bandwidth is an important deciding factor for speed and loading of your website, so an unlimited plan is good for your website, but not necessary if you would be hosting just a few websites on your plan and not like 20 to 50 websites on one plan.

Unlimited Disk space  – This feature varies from provider to provider and if you get unlimited disk space then its a bonus, however most plans are sufficient to run many blogs in one plan.  The disk space if the storage for your files that make up your website.

Loading Speed  –  Speed of  your blog or business website can impact if more people end up visiting your website or not. This can get more important as your website grows.  Shared servers are good for a start, but  when you grow it would be good to have optimised servers with nginx customised infrastructure with caching and CDN if possible to maximise loading speed of your website.

VPS Hosting  – This though similar  to dedicated hosting is different and is a virtual server. If your hosting solution company have this  product when your traffic reaches thousands of viewers a day, this is a good upgrade option to grow from your cheap starter plans. Most hosting companies offer dedicated  hosting as well as virtual private server hosting as an upgrade plan.

Phone support vs Live chat  – This is good to have instant online support from your hosting company. Rather than pick up that phone and call, you can just have an online chat with a support officer to get support and help.

Renewal rates  – Make sure their renewal rates after the first year is not a rip-off. Most providers if they give a cheap inaugural price discount offer, it will usually default to standard pricing after the contract ends/renewal or 1st year – so be aware of this.

Hosting options : Managed WordPress Vs Cloud hosts – Cloud hosting is a new concept and is convenient for new websites with high bandwidth needs as resources can be more easily allocated and upgraded as per needs. Managed WP hosting is good as its speedier than normal plans due to customs server infrastructure that is optimised for better speeds. They normally use nginx, custom caching and advanced server configurations with PHP and CDN.

Linux or windows hosting – Most hosts use Linux hosting for blogging, but it really does not matter, if you just want to run a normal website or blog or online shop.

Support for Blogging software – Make sure it supports at least at the minimum wordpress and also  Joomla and Drupal. As these other two are good website alternatives if you think wordpress is not your thing.

Reseller Hosting – This is not really needed when you start  your website, but if the provider you sign up offers reseller hosting and you are happy with their service, you can set up your own hosting shop  with your own brand name and sell their services. Godaddy offers white label reselling of their hosting and domain name services.

Money back guarantee – Most  good  hosting companies offer a a moneyback guarantee for their plans from the range  of 30 days  to 90 days. If they include a free domain name in their plan you might need  to process a refund for that as well, but I personally have never had to  take a refund so far with the above hosts.

[ Disclosure: Digitalgrog.com.au is a Bluehost/ Hostgator/Hostmonster/ Godaddy / Dreamhost/ Ipage affiliate partner and we also have hosting accounts with these services, which means that in addition to using their service, we also receive a commission for referring new customers. To be fair, though, we would still use any of these Hosting services, but do have a preference for some and so we have done a full review of all the hosting partners we use. Ergo, we don’t recommend Bluehost or any featured host just because we’re an affiliate (every hosting company offers a similar affiliate program and you could pick any of them ), but we recommend Bluehost because they are the best, most reliable option. Plus, because we’re a partner, Bluehost offers a special price for digitalgrog.com.au readers: only $3.95 a month and you already have our GoDaddy $1 special above. That’s a phenomenal price. Links provided above will take you to the latest updated promo deals. Feel free to pick which host suits your budget or preference and good luck 🙂 ]
