This is the best bar none hosting site out there!!!
I recommend ixwebhosting since it cheap and quite reliable although it may be not the best. It has business plan for both Linux and Windows based.
Getting more search engine results is not a function of having to set up a hosting server or settling your domainname on a particular host server. You should consider search engine optimization (SEO) of your website which truly attracts customers to your web business. You are invited to read the following strategy.
With 85% of Internet surfers using search engines/directories such as Google, Yahoo or MSN to find goods and services, it is very important to promote one’s website by first publishing one’s domain named website on these major search directories. To publish your website’s domain name for FREE at Google’s search directory, visit and fill-in the form. In another way, Google, Yahoo or MSN provide a Yellow Pages kind of advertisement for every website according to a set of ranking protocols. And there’s where web designers and search engine optimizers play an critical role in marketing websites which in turn, display goods and services to be discovered [via search directories] by the rest of the world. The greater the appearance or presence that one’s website can generate on search directories, the greater number of customers will accordingly visitor one’s website.
As for the cost to market one’s website via the Internet and more particularly — search directories, will depend initially with the proper design of webpages and the proper placement of metatags which are: Title, Description and Keywords.
A searchable Title would be [name of the goods/services - a generic domain name is okay unless you own a well-know brand], [city], [state - postal abbreviation] — up to 65 characters and spaces. The Description would be up to 20 words comprising a complete readable sentence which promotes interest in your business, i.e., We sell quality _____ at a reasonable price, etc. And keywords would consist of 12-15 compound plural words separated by commas, i.e., cars, planes, transportation, etc.
In conclusion, webpages can either be rather straightforward using only HTML text or be crafted totally as a graphic Flash configuration. Either way, care should be taken to complete the Properties entries for Title, Description and Keywords so that there is something that search robots can index. The more one is educated in crafting effective webpages along with metatag placement, the less will be spent to hire third-party consultants to assist you in this matter.
To demonstrate how search engines/directories work, go to Yahoo.com and type in the following search query: pizza downtown los angeles. [Note: do not include the quotes ().] Again, this is a very generic query which means you want to order a pizza from downtown and in what city — Los Angeles. Sounds fairly simple and then hit Enter. In a moment or two, there will appear some 1.3 million search results and among the top Five rankings will be a business called Pizza Next Door, etc. The significance of this demonstration is to illustrate that most Interest shoppers will discover Pizza Next Door, forthright because of its high web presence and ranking within the Top Five. So these shoppers are more or less likely to patronize this pizza establishment and hopefully in the long term; validate the owner and his family as having a profitable Internet enterprise.
Good luck!
I highly recommend dreamhost
Well since you are wanting to do an ecommerce business I would recommend starting with a more expensive host like pair.com, asmallorange.com or textdrive. Cheap hosts are not going to be as dependable. You can also start with a vps or low end dedicated server that is managed thus giving you complete control of your hosting environment, a good place for a good vps is liquidweb.com or just research your host.
I suggest researching any possible hosts using:
Here is a list of hosts have more than 15 positive reviews and are recommended by at least 90% of the reviewers.
And for fun a list of hosts that have more than 15 reviews, and are recommended by less than 10% of our users.
