My Favorite and Most Reliable Webhosts for Blogging
I already announced to one of my FB groups that I’m giving away free WordPress webhosting. A lot of the members in the group “LIKED” my comment but I also received questions regarding the webhosts that I’m using. I answered them a lengthy comment which I want to share here in my post.
Being in the online world for so long, I’ve tried a lot of webhosts already. I even had once my own webhosting stint but it’s too much for me to handle so I gave it up and instead looked for a reliable webhost in the market.
First, when people asked me the question ” what webhost are you using?” I don’t usually answer them right away but instead reply a question to them such as:
1. What kind of sites are you going to upload on it?
2. Will you run an extensive program or script on it?
3. How many visitors or traffic are you expecting in 1-2 years?
Now, why am I asking these questions?
Simple, there’s is no perfect webhosting out there. Everything has somehow need to be customized according to your needs. More often, you get what you pay for. So my recommendation usually will depend on how they are going to answer the questions I posted above.
But for blogging, it’s different story. If your answer to my first question is “for blogging” then I wouldn’t hesitate to answer you that my top choices for blog hosting are ( in no particular order):
Why I’m recommending these 3 web host providers?
Because I have been using BlueHost, Hostgator, WPWebhost for all my sites and blogs. I have hosted our company and other clients of mine in BlueHost and WPWebhost while my personal blog is hosted at Hostgator.
I haven’t got a single downtime from any of them. Their support were all amazing because I can get in touch with them 24/7.

Im not a techie person.. and most of the time I am clueless with anything digital… What I need is something that’s easy, understandable even for people like me, but has the best features… What can you recommend for me?
Hi Koko, any of the three will do. If you need some assistance, let me know. I might be able to help you.
I use hostgator and namecheap for my blogs. No problem so far
They’re reliable.
Thanks for sharing this. I am planning to get my own domain and hosting this June. Will keep this in mind.
I recently created a wordpress blog using Nearly Free Speech as host. Not as easy as I thought but I’m learning
Thanks for this post. Being a newbie in blogging, I gained new insights into Web hosting.
I hear so much about webhosting and which one is better but never tried any of them.I just use blogger for all my site.
I was once under BlueHost and the service is good however you have to shell out some more moolah. A friend recommended Hostgator to me but my busy schedule hinders me to transfer as soon as possible.
mommy Karen, Bluehost and Hostgator are the same…you still have to pay them.
Nako I haven’t gone that far pa to be this techy. Haha! Pero this post really helps on those who desire more from blogging.
I have tried quite a bit of different webhosts in my time, always searching for the best price vs. performance ratio. Things like uptime and response time are very important to me in particular.

I’m still planning to get one but I have to learn more about web hosting.
satisfied with hostgator so far..
Hi Eric. I have a shared hosting on Hostgator and have 3 domains on it. My problem was I have these subdomains on my hosting like this: domain2.domain1.com which I can also access as domain2.com
Do you know how to eliminate this one? Will I face a problem in the future If I remove it?
Hi Estefan,
You don’t need to remove those subdomains. In the eyes of the search engines (and readers), those are separate separate domains. And yes, you will face a problem if you remove them.
bookmarking this post.. i just use free blogger and free wordpress.. just having fun! but thanks for info!
I would highly recommend using HostMonster. Their pricing is comparable to services like host gator but what sets them apart is their customer support. It’s been awesome for me and it’s 100% US based.
Yea, I’ve been hearing good things about HostMonster from a lot of my friends. Maybe I will give them a try once my current plan runs out.

HostGator is a great hosting company. I have never had any problems with them. I have also heard good things about Bluehost.

Those are also at the top of my list, I have had bad experiences with some other companies that will remain nameless.
