best webhosting for a new site?

I am using hostinger currently and it is good and reliable.

You can give HostGator a try, they had been there for quite long time.

Hello,

You can try Hostinger Web hosting for your website. I have very good working experience with them.

There support is love.

Hostinger is also one of the cheapest web hosting companies on the market today.

I generally recommend BlueHost or HostGator, whichever you prefer. Those are more than enough.

Pretty sure they must've been suggested before my reply as well.

u can buy domain in your local webhosting but for hosting i suggest u for rent a vps. vultr best 4 me

If you're not technical and have no desire to learn server admin/management skills then ignore the people who are recommending DigitalOcean or Amazon. You need a fully managed service.

Keep in mind that HostGator, Bluehost, and about 50+ other brands are all owned by the same publicly traded conglomerate known as "EIG" (Endurance International Group). A quick Google search will reveal much of their poor practices and demise.

Some of EIG's "core" brands (BlueHost, HostGator, iPage) are totally acceptable and cheap for someone just starting out, but you'll likely run into reliability issues and performance issues down the road. They are squeezing as much margin as they can with each node/server. Meaning, you may be on a shared server with 2,000-5,000 other customers who are using the same server resources as you.

Alternatives such as WPX as recommended by @ContentExpert is great if you don't mind spending a few extra bucks for a much better support experience and reliability. There's also Pagely and WP Engine to consider in the premium price category as well.

GoDaddy has improved A LOT over the years as well, but I still avoid them for hosting as they're still quite deceitful, overload their servers, and try to up-sell you every chance they get.

If you're doing wordpress, WPX is the best. EXTREMELY fast. I haven't had to use their customer service yet though. I used liquidweb when I use to run a game server. They have awesome customer service.

godaddy and namecheap both are better than all. Most of aged and drop domains can be registered there

So what's the best solution you guys suggest for this?

If you want something cheap go with hostgator, otherwise I would recommend siteground (yeah they're a bit expensive, but their customer support is awesome).

i am using namecheap and its good

I suggest Godaddy & Hostinger for cheap hosting.

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?
