Which witch is which? A.K.A: Web hosting, how do you pick?

Three years ago, I admit that I thought the blogging world began and ended with one of the many journal hosting sites such as Live Journal, Xanga, and Blogger. I’d look from the corner of my eye green with envy at self-hosted Word Press sites with their own snappy domain names that fit their niche. Then continued to tickity-tap-type away on my Live Journal wishing I could have just a little more control, just a little more SEO settings, and just over all, a little more everything.

Shawn and I realized in order to do that, we’d have to go on out into the big wide world of buying our own domain and choosing a name that best represented us–and we did. Great! Awesome! But after we grabbed the name we were faced with the larger dilemma most every-day ‘net users are faced with: web hosting and where to get it?

There are so many hosting sites out there. If you’re like us and only marginally ‘net savvy, choosing one can become a chore or a nightmare (depending on your understanding of website jargon and the likes.) How do you pick one that is right for you? How do find one that offers just the correct amount of services to fit your needs? Where can you find real, honest consumer reviews and reports on hosting companies and where can you read helpful advice on web hosting?

Behold. I bring you Web Hosting Rating. Not only will you find customer reviews, but you’ll find a plethora of helpful articles, such as Web hosting security, Can cheap hosting be good?, and much, much more. All targeted to guide you on your way toward choosing a web hosting service that’s just right for you.

If you’re stuck on the fence and wondering whether or not to self-host a blog because you don’t know which company to choose or why, I really recommend checking Web Hosting Rating out. Definitely a guide you don’t want to miss!
