Business Ecommerce Web Hosting

Web Hosting Provider - Who gets my business?
Our company has three different sites. One of which has a database on it which will need security for eCommerce. I would like to have a dedicated server, but the prices that I have seen are way over my budget. I would like to keep it under $100 a month. Does anyone have first hand experience with a web host provider that offers excellent customer service (that is in America & speaks English) and 0% downtime??? I appreciate your help.

I would like to suggest following webhosting which I use, they are excellent.

Web Hosting - What featues are most important to you?
If you were to describe the perfect web hosting service for your business or personal use, what featues should they have? Which ones are the most important? Is the most important feature the site building template? The ability to post pictures/photos? ecommerce?

price versus features offered...... AND Support! When the web is down I want to contact a LIVE person to get it up and running. None of the "email and wait days for a response". Examples: I have had client web sites hacked. One had a new hacked opening page with anti-US slogans and pictures. The other web site had been hacked with an opening page for the "man/boy love society". Needless to say my clients wanted the webs corrected immediately, and the hacked sites were password protected with new passwords! Having a telephone number and/or immediate email response is a MUST HAVE. If the company has no listed phone number for support - move on to someone else. I once tested a web hosting service (POWWEB) by inquiring via email and telephone at 4 AM on a Sunday morning. ;-) They responded quickly, and as a result gained about fifteen new client accounts. I was doing webs professionally at the time. (I've retired, so I don't know if their current response efforts are as good as they used to be---but when I used them they were terrific). Site building templates are a nice "crutch" when you are first starting out... but most of them will not meet every demand you may have in the future. Grab a copy of Microsoft FrontPage, along with an instructional book from your local book store. It is a What You See Is What You Get program, and has a low demand learning curve. There WILL BE times when you will have to start looking at the HTML code on a web site to figure out what the *(&(*&&*) is going wrong. Using FrontPage and reviewing your work graphically and in HTML acts as a good learning tool. Ecommerce? Do you really need the ability to showcase a hundred or more items? Do you currently have a merchants account to accept credit cards? (they are tough to obtain from local banks and cost $$ otherwise). You can list items with photographs and have a "Click here to pay with PayPal" button that will allow a customer to use a credit card for payment. PayPal will take their cut, but it does solve the problem.

Web host for a small business?
What's a good reliable web host for a new small business? I'm not expecting more than 1,000 visitors a day. I do need ecommerce, a shopping cart and a checkout.

If you are serious about websites either for personal or your business, don't go to free web hosting as they are usually not reliable and you may end up losing all your hard work. Free web hosts usually put advertisements on your websites and it could be annoying. If you like to create websites (usually you will end up more than 1 website, I got more than 100 websites in about 6 months' time), go for multiple web hosting services where you could host all your websites in one account. I would like to suggest following webhosting which I use, they are excellent. Hostmonster http://www.hostmonster.com/track/ryukenden/ They offer hosting of "unlimited domains" and you will get massive webspace of 300000 MB (300 GB ).

What is the best web hosting?
I am wanting to start my own website. This my first and I am working on building it through dreamweaver. What is the best site out there to host with? I have looked up a bunch but I wanted to get some feed back from people who are actually using them. Is it easier to build the site through the hosting company? I really just want a blog that I can post pictures and have an ecommerce site. I guess I want it all but I want to gradually build up...if that makes since. I want to eventually turn my blog into a small business. So what is working for everyone? Thanks!!
