Host4Profit - I’ll Put My Money Somewhere Else
There are tons of web hosting options out there. There are many, many excellent choices. Far be it from me to rattle off a list of good ones for fear of offending the ones I miss.
But I do want to say that Host4Profit isn’t one of them. How can I tell? Its pretty simple actually, the $24.95 price tag. Also the fact that you can’t find a reasonable link to their site without first going through the site of yet another money making scam. You know how I found them? Doing research on a site I blogged about before (link here).
Please, do some research. There are dozens of great sites out there that will give you excellent service for under $10.00 a month, and if you haven’t noticed, you can easily get hosted here at google for absolutely free. If you’re a blogger, like me, there is no reason to spend a penny to get your web site hosted, not one red cent. If you’re in the business of making money, then a slightly more professional hosting service may be necessary.
Go to google. Do a search for web hosting, and spend a few hours looking around. Don’t settle on the first one. Don’t settle on the second one. Heck, try giving them a phone call. A business that won’t answer the phone won’t be there when you need them, and the five minutes out of your day it takes to get your questions answered will save you the hours of headaches you’ll run into later.
Do yourself a favor. Take the $24.95 that you were going to throw away on these guys and buy your wife some roses. You’ll still be out the money, but at least your chances of getting lucky will have gone up.
Thanks for stopping by Liza. I definitely want to make sure people are smart with their money.
