\nAs a graphic designer I specialize in branding, identity, and print design.\u00a0 I know the basics of Web Design (CSS, HTML, etc) and how to program in Dreamweaver, but I really prefer to stick to what I know.\u00a0 However, any business nowadays needs to have a website<\/strong>, preferably with its own dedicated URL (www.YourBusiness.com).<\/p>\n

In order to reserve your domain and run your website, you’re going to need a quality web host<\/em>. I know you probably think of sites like Wix or GoDaddy, but neither of those are good options that will give off a professional presentation, be cost-effective, and host your domain and website effortlessly.\u00a0 If you do have a domain with one of the less-suggested web hosts, you should make the switch as soon as possible<\/em> to a reliable company.\u00a0 Here is a list of – in my opinion – the top 4 web hosting sites out there for you to choose from.
\n
<\/br><\/p>\n

#1. bluehost<\/a><\/h3>\n

Trusted by Millions as the Best Web Hosting Solution<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n


\n\"\"
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

I personally use bluehost<\/a> for my sites, and they have always been fantastic.\u00a0 The price is right, the controls are great, the customer support is amazing and responsive, and I’ve never had any problems with the site giving out. What more could you ask for?<\/p>\n

\u2022 More information on bluehost<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2022 Sign up now!<\/a><\/p>\n

 
\n
<\/br><\/p>\n

#2. iPage<\/a><\/h3>\n

Get a Website that Works.<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"affiliate_link\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

iPage<\/a> has lots of great reviews online, is a totally Green powered company, has a great built-in site builder, and has loads of features that are included in your membership.<\/p>\n

\u2022 More information on iPage<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2022 Sign up now!<\/a><\/p>\n

 
\n
<\/br><\/p>\n

#3. HostGator<\/a><\/h3>\n

we eat up the competition<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

HostGator<\/a> is consistently on Top 10 lists, and it’s easy to see why.\u00a0 They are very affordable, and provide lots of incentives like an Easy Control Panel, free website builder with templates, and a $100 Google AdWords offer. One thing that I like about them is how easy they make it to switch from another hosting site.<\/p>\n

\u2022 More info on HostGator<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2022 Sign up now!<\/a>

<\/br><\/p>\n

#4. justhost<\/a><\/h3>\n

Reliable and Affordable Web Hosting<\/em><\/strong><\/span>
\n
\n\"\"
\n<\/a>Another very affordable option, justhost<\/a> has great support and an easy to use interface. What really sets them apart is their Anytime Money-Back Guarantee, and all of the extras that come with an account: $50 in facebook ad credits, $100 Google ad credits, $25 bing ad credits, unlimited space, transfers, domains, etc.<\/p>\n

\u2022 More information on justhost\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u2022 Sign up now!<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/br>
\n <\/p>\n

There is a wide, wide, world of web hosting companies out there, I’ve just highlighted the 4 that I think are the most affordable and the best value overall.
