Internet Marketing, Make Money Online

In response to my last post about cheap hosting I had a comment from Linda asking if I could review some of the companies I use for hosting. Since I'd already mentioned two other hosts in the comments to that post I thought I'd prefer to write about a host that I haven't mentioned before.

I should clarify and say I use a lot of host companies, I own several websites and I don't like to keep all my eggs in one basket, and I hate using reseller plans for my websites. If something goes wrong that's it, your entire network of websites could be offline.

Cheap hosting, or even free hosting, isn't always the worst hosting you can use. Frankly I think too many people assume that only expensive hosting is worth having. Let me be clear, the price you pay has nothing to do with quality of service, it only means the host is charging you more.

A host company that charges $12.95 per month, can be exactly the same as a host company that gives free hosting if you buy a domain. Let me give the example of doteasy (not an affiliate link) who have hosting for $9.95 per month, or free hosting when you buy a domain. Keep reading, that's just their list price, believe me it gets way better than that.

doteasy are a large, well respected company who sell domains and hosting, not much different from other hosts except their list price for a domain is more expensive, but they give free hosting, or rather the hosting is included in the price. Maybe a little confusing to some people but in my opinion not much different to other hosts.

I use doteasy for a couple of sites where I need a hosting account that isn't going to be flaky. Look I said in my comments on the cheap hosting post that I don't care about a few hours downtime, but on some of my sites I do care. For example one of the sites on doteasy I use primarily with readers who I want signing up for my mailing list.

I don't want to miss a single email address if there is a chance that person could become a buying customer. doteasy is one of the few cheap hosts, well let's be honest and say if the domain fee is the same as anywhere else the hosting is actually free, where I know I can count on that mailing list manager to be online.

Now we get to the good part. doteasy have a coupon code you can use to get a domain (com/net/org) for just $4.95 with free cPanel hosting for 12 months. That's my reason for using them. Look, after 12 months if a site isn't working well enough for me to then afford regular hosting then it's never going to work. But that's my job, I'm an Internet Marketer. I build websites to make money online, I'm not doing this waste money.

That is why doteasy is on my list of cheap or free hosts. If you want to get a free doteasy host account with a $4.95 domain, just use the coupon code 0910FWH - that isn't an affiliate code, anyone can use it. Another reason I use doteasy for free web hosting is they don't have any hidden fees or setup fees. $4.95, that's it!
