In the past two months, I’ve been closing several web hosting accounts that I had open the past 3 years. I’ve cut down on my domains/websites so downsizing the web hosting was important. Although, I closed three reseller hosting accounts I have been shopping around for good Affordable web hosting. When I first got started in 1999 I had no idea what to look for in hosting so I went for cheap hosting at around $3/per month. It was good but when the popularity grew it became a really bad service. So I learned from the first experience and usually ask friends in the business or highly trusted recommendations. There is no way to know a good quality host with the following important attributes, unless you have a reference:
- High Up time Percentage
- Fast Support & Forums
- Speed and Performance
- Quality & Good Pricing
- Bandwidth & Space Allowance (no hidden fees)
- Easy Upgrade Options and Transfers
- Unlimited Domain Hosting

IMhosted also offers a free domain for life, so that means no yearly renewal as it is added with the service as long as you are a customer. Although I’m not a big fan of using the host free domain offers, I’d rather have 100% control of my domains in case of any changes and if I want to sell it later. It is less complicated in my opinion when you have control of it using a domain registrar. But for newcomers it is easier and less hassle to get started! The other features included at IMHOSTED include:
- No Setup Fees
- 99.998% Network Uptime
- Languages: PHP, FTP, SSL, MYSQL..
