I often see many of the newbees asking who do you go to to host your website. I even see some of you folks not happy with your current host. Well have you ever thought of being your own host. Controlling you own web or webs as in my case. No I don't mean getting your own server and spending a fortune and having to learn a lot of lingo mombo jumbo.. I know this old guy has trouble with a lot of that. But I am my own host. 4 years ago I looked at becoming a reseller for hosting company. I bought space and have unlimited domains. I use a company called Grabweb www.grabweb.com Now I pay less than they offer now but I have been on board for awhile so they treat me good. I pay less than $25.00 a month..I think it is $29. a month now. but here is the good part. I don't use all my space so I host others website that I have built for people and charge them for hosting.. so I pay.. nothing..plus I currently have 8 websites of my own for my business. What's great about that is I get a lot of linkage to my webs and that helps my index's. I can also add a new site in a day without waiting to hear back from a company about when they are ready for me.. In fact I added a new site yesterday.. Bought name on Friday from godddy.. changed server names to my servers at grabweb.. went to my control panel told myself how much space I wanted, mail, aliases, etc. Built the new web and was done in few hours.But I controlled the whole process. You can even add ecommerce. There are a lot of bundled programs they offer with the price. So it might be worth looking into. Lou
