This article might as well be called “Webhosting For Dummies“. It really is easy to get on the web with your own website.

My Internet publishing experience started about 1990. I had no idea what I was doing, but came from a technical and industrial business background, so the web was understandable with a little study. I published mostly hobby related interests at first.

A few years ago I wanted to put up a business related website that would look professional, which I knew would be way beyond my expertise. So I shopped around and was very fortunate to find a small company near Ithaca, NY., “S-GO Consulting,” operated by Steve Gorney and several other geniuses. I can’t say enough about this team. They have been with me through all of the various website design changes that I kept making before I finally arrived at just exactly what I wanted.

They built one of our main websites with Joomla!, which is an open source programming language that I am required to know absolutely nothing about! S-GO does it all. Tell them what you want and it’s done, exactly the way you want.

They also afforded me enough hand holding training so that I am now able to make minor modifications and it is very easy to add new data. However, if I have any questions they are right there.

It costs a couple of thousand or so, to build a great site to a custom design, but worth every penny. They give you a very generous bandwidth allotment and they are instantly responsive to any problems. Don’t let the price scare you. If you have some firm ideas, ask them for a quote and I am positive that they will be very competitive. S-GO is not “just” a hosting company. They are Marketing Experts, and will help you with your overall marketing plan in all media and even have the expertise to assist you with writing your Business Plan.

This commercial will not benefit me in any way, but it sure will benefit you if you decide to go with www.s-go.net .

Now if you are an old hand at website building and management, or if you are a consummate Blogger, Podcaster, or Internet publisher in any manner, then you might just want some recommendations for web hosting packages that we use for our many sites.

As you no doubt have heard about the recent fire at “The Planet,” a web hosting company in Houston, Texas, that calamity brought down thousands of websites for a week end and some of them are still trying to recover.

That’s why we don’t put all of our eggs in one basket. We use three other web hosting companies along with S-GO, and they are; GoDaddy, BlueHost and HostIcan Website hosting is very competitive now and where it formerly took commitments of thousands of dollars per year, you can now have very professional hosting services for a little over $100 per year.

We recommend all three of these fine companies and you can trust them all to be very eager to assist you in answering any questions or immediately fixing any problems.

GoDaddy is very well known and popular. The only problem I have when signing on to their website is to keep my mind off Danica Patrick in leather! Their signup procedure is easy to do once you have learned the procedure. Their design is extremely busy and they want you to keep clicking more and more to buy, which I find annoying, but there is always a link somewhere on each page to just keep skipping by and going to the checkout page.

BlueHost was recommended to us by Caroline Middlebrook, one of our favorite Internet Marketing Blogging friends. BlueHost is solid, and their website is clean and very easy to navigate. Prices are very fair and they will help you all the way with your installation.

Our other Best hosting company is HostIcan. This company also has a website that is very easy to use and you can be set up in minutes with a brand new website. Their rates are as low as $6.95 per month with a free domain name FOR LIFE!

All of these hosting companies offer high end packages for large companies or organizations that need huge amounts of data, bandwith, and redundancy. By clicking any of the links on this website to take you to any of the companies we recommend, you will be able to pick just the perfect plan that fits your needs and budget.

Click on all three of these recommended web hosting companies and compare their services for yourself.

We recommend using WordPress and select a theme that you like, install the plugins you need and make your presence known on the web. In a previous article that we wrote there is a LINK to Caroline Middlebrook’s free eBook on how to install WordPress.
