How to Choose a Good Web Host Conclusion
Which would I go with? Well, I currently use GoDaddy.com and have had no problems with them. However, if I was going to get new hosting, knowing what I know now, I’d go with HostRocket.Com.
Why?
GoDaddy’s hosting packages don’t provide a good value for money compared to the other hosting companies. For example, I only get 25 SQL databases and if I want more, I’d have to upgrade to a more expensive hosting package.
HostRocket.Com has a great package. It’s amongst the cheapest and pretty much has unlimited of everything (except data storage - which is 1 TB - plenty if you ask me). You can host all the websites you want and won’t have problems with data transfer or database limits.
Once I hit the limits at GoDaddy.com I will definitely get an account at HostRocket.Com.
