Hosting Time

Awhile back I wrote about eventually "going legit" with this blog and making some improvements to it. Since then...well, okay, I haven't really done too much. What can I say? I've been busy! But I am looking into it again, and one of my first topics to research is my web hosting options. Eventually I plan to move this site to its own domain and find a hosting site that works for me.

I found a really helpful site that has reviews and ratings for lots of hosting sites, plus a hosting guide to walk you through the process, and current news related to web hosting. One of the things that I like most is that they have customer reviews for all of the different sites out there. There are so many opinions about which site is the best, and sometimes when you read a review on some random website you don't really know if you can trust it, so it's nice to be able to read a variety of reviews from actual customers so you get an idea of what to expect from each site.

Another helpful thing on this site is their best web hosting awards. They have awards for different categories, like Best Blog Hosting and Best Budget Hosting, which are both very relevant to my interests. This is really helpful because sometimes even if you've heard a lot of recommendations for a particular hosting company, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's the right one for what you need.

So now that I think I have a better idea of what I need in a web host, I'm going to start to work on the site right away. Well, maybe not right away, it is the holiday season after all. Let's call it a New Year's resolution.
