Unhappy Looking for a webhost

Hi, I am looking for a webhosting company that does the following:

Has templates that I can use to help me get started with designing my website, allows me to keep track of how many visitors, is very reliable and is easy to work with.

I currently am with web.com and they have some pretty drab templates and they don't let you customize them the way I like. For example, when I try to put my logo on the page it has to have a huge white box behind it.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Default Re: Looking for a webhost

You should probably just look for free web templates for the various page designing programs. Searching for a hosting company solely for their template cache seems odd to me. Most hosting allows you to check visitor stats, but reliable and easy come at a price usually.

However, my hosting company ( Mac Highway ) runs it's servers on Macs and guarantees 99.99% up time. Plus they get their electricity from wind farms...maybe that means nothing to you, but to me that was awesome that a company that needs to be sucking up so much juice to keep all its customers online isn't adding to global warming. Also the support is A++++ as you'll always get a real person on the phone, and most of the time it's picked up on the 1st ring. And they know their stuff...

I got the HighwayPLUS package for only $150 for the year. On the whole I love my choice. No templates all the same....but maybe you'd be better off searching for the free ones as I said, or maybe just hiring someone to set up your site design wise for you.

Hope that helps some.

I've been using Hostgator for a while and am really pleased.
The support has been great and I have had no problems.
Strong up-time so far.

See here: Web Hosting, Reseller Hosting, and Dedicated Website Hosting w/ cPanel - HostGator

They have a pretty good selection of templates you can use and customize.
It's all pretty user friendly and the price is decent.

I use GoDaddy.com which is good and helpful if you are just starting out. As I am getting better at doing some of the designing and coding myself I have been looking for cheaper prices and one of the cheapest web hosting sites I have found is aplus.net.

As you can probably see, there are SO many options and everyone has their opionion, so I'll throw in mine...hahaha....my favorite one is Pikiware (which I should disclose that I am a customer) they allow you to do everything from order fulfillment (if you are a printer), to creating your own website and subing out your fulfillment, additionally they have a very user friendly format, which can easily be updated and changed. I've used various websites but nothing has been better than Pikiware.
