Step #2 Choose the Best Hosting based on Cost!

#	Hosting Company	DomainDomain Refers to your www.yourdomain.com - These days you can host 999+ domains on one host, and some offer a free domain name when you sign up. Sweet!	SpaceDisk Space - This refers to the amount of storage provided by the host. All hosts we recommend have more space than you will probably use, it comes standard. The amount of space would only be a concern for people putting tons High Quality Video, Audio, and Photos on there site.	BandwidthBandwidth - The amount of data that you are allowed to transfer monthly. If you are expecting heavy traffic or will be streaming a lot of downloads, video and music choose one with higher bandwidth. But remember all hosts will let you change packages to one with more bandwidth later, as your sites popularity grows. Approximately 40,000 page views = 1 GB of data transfer. If you build it they will come. :)	Package	Host Review	PricePrice All hosting companies discount their rates for 1 -3 year service agreements. If you sign up for more than one year of service you will save.	Visit Host
