@Rajiv, GoDaddy (Just like 1and1) used to have some good starter plans. Their ratings were not that good ealier, but I see that they have improved big time now. The rates are up as well, may be?

I need to check out for a dedicated hosting plan once things ‘improve’ with respect to this blog.

I have been with GoDaddy since I began and never even thought of a change. Guess the thought of moving the database was daunting enough and also never had a problem with GoDaddy per se. Even now I have signed up for a couple of years with GoDaddy so moving will have to wait till then. A good post and good options too.

@Kim, You are welcome. Recently even I planned to change the host but I figured out from various sources – like the one above – that HostMonster is not that bad an option. A few people told me that HostGator is also good for shared hosting. The only reason for me to move would be the fact that HostMonster does not have a dedicated hosting plan…

For the time being, shared hosting is okay… If this blog shoots up in subscription and daily hits, I may need to change

Thank goodness for that resource. I can be hard to select a host and once you do you are so dependent on them. I’ve been with the same one for 5 years and in the last year it seems to have gone downhill a bit. I don’t want to change because it’s such a pain. I’m hoping to stay with them until I need a dedicated server – if that even happens. Thanks for the article Ajith.

@Simon, I hear that Host gator is pretty good… Any idea, how many domains are typically sitting on one server??? When I last pinged my server had some 700+ domain on it. Very rarely I get a CPU exceeded error, but usually no issues – I am with HostMonster

In my lifelong unchanged opinion, HostGator is still the best hosting service out there as I have never had any trouble with them whatsoever Site Flipping Simon's last blog post...The Website Flipping Dilemma

@Samrat, what really matters is the average opinion of actual users and customers. A hosting plan may offer you a dollar less, but before signing up all that you can do is to listen to those who used the services.

@Tammy, thanks for your compliments. Yep, some post topics requires some extensive research where as some are natually my favorite topics or work related stuff as well. For the latter, it is easy…
