best webhosting for a new site?

[zoecheng]

Hello everyone!
A friend of mine is launching a board game shop, and they want to build a basic website mainly about their services and introduction ect. (maybe some articles later on)

They had registered ' Gandi.net' plan a few months ago, but haven't really figure out how to do it yet.

I'm new in IM so I can't give them too many suggestions...
Should they stick with this plan on Gandi.net? or they could just go namecheap with the cheapest plan first, and then upgrade if they need?

I also been using hostgator for years, I recommend them.

Bluehost is best out there, but you might wanna go with cheaper one if you are just starting, like Hostgator, because you can pay on monthly basis and good discount anually.

u can try Namecheap. since it good and cheap price for hosting.. i ever use hostgator and never ever want to u that hosting again. their cs is bad.

If you want the best, WPX is the way to go.

Stay away from hosts from domain registrars. Most of the time they're trash. At least go with something more decent like hostgator, because even though hostgator is not the best of web servers, it's definitely enough for a non-programmer newbie.

Things are not best, Things are according to your need. check if you need more data and more speed then go for good companies but bit expensive companies.

If you are new to web development, you should choose the hosting that might be a little bit more expensive but have instant support like hostinger, later when you are master, you can use vultr, siteground ....

Look at Amazon EC2 free for 1-year.

Use Liquidweb.com they have great support 24/7, good prices and usually answer to phone calls within minutes.

Depends on your budget.
Namecheap is fine if you're looking for cheap and cheerful.

Avoid anything from EIG.

If you've a decent budget, A2, Siteground or my go to is WPX.

GoDaddy and NameCheap is best for low budget and startup

Hostgator shared baby plan is good, it's reasonably priced and gives you user friendly backend dashboard. I found their customer service also good as they solve the issue right on the call.

 

[BapeWars]

Siteground hands down.

 

[Blackstrom]

Try the cheapest for the basic website.When in future your audience will grow you can upgrade.

I recommend GoDaddy and Namecheap.
