2006 Web Hosting Lucky Seven

Article Description:
====================

Are you launching a website? If so, you'll quickly find that not
all web hosting companies are created equally. Things you should
look for in a provider are reliability, price, responsiveness,
security and a comprehensive control panel, some even offering
basic website design set-up. While most hosting companies are
resellers, we looked for those with full control over their data
centers. We researched several hosting services to compile a list
of the 2006 Web Hosting Lucky Seven list.

Are you launching a website? If so, you'll quickly find that not
all web hosting companies are created equally. Things you should
look for in a provider are reliability, price, responsiveness,
security and a comprehensive control panel, some even offering
basic website design set-up. While most hosting companies are
resellers, we looked for those with full control over their data
centers. We researched several hosting services to compile a list
of the 2006 Web Hosting Lucky Seven list.

No. 1: IX Web Hosting (http://www.ixwebhosting.com), in business
since 1999, offers exceptional customer satisfaction rankings,
fast load times and superior reliability. The company gives
discounts on longer billing cycles, either quarterly,
semi-annually, annually or every two years. They offer a full
money-back guarantee including setup fees. The company's uptime
records are high, with overall reliability at 99.9 percent. Their
data centers are complete with firewalls, leading security and
CISCO state-of-the-art routers. The company uses H-Sphere
technology to support their control panel, giving customers
superb back-end plan management. You can add and remove domains,
control email and FTP accounts, auto responders, MIME types,
PHP/ASP configuration, mySQL, PostgreSQL and MMSQL databases.

No. 2: Lunar Pages (http://www.lunarpages.com), established in
2000, offers basic hosting plans from just $6.95 per month, which
includes 400 gigabytes of data transfer, unlimited MySQL
databases, e-commerce, blog, forum and photo gallery
functionality. This also includes a free domain name for life
plus one additional add-on domain. Their datacenter includes Dell
Power Edge 2650 servers and state-of-the-art infrastructure.
Servers are multi-home, connecting to premium Tier-1 Backbone
providers for optimal performance. The company offers CPanel 5
back-end control for email management, password and FTP login
changes plus website statistics. LunarPages also delivers
outstanding technical and customer support.

No. 3: BlueHost (http://www.bluehost.com) in existence since
1996, offers an extensive script library including blogs, forums,
calendars and portals, commerce functionality, SSL support, free
domain registration, osCommerce, Spam Assassin and secure email.
Their smallest plan begins at $7.95 per month and delivers 15,000
MB storage, 400 GB transfer and 2,500 emails. The company
provides reliable backups, functional administration,
leading-edge equipment and outstanding customer service.

No. 4: MidPhase (http://www.midphase.com) boasts more than 40,000
customers, all earned over just the past few years. The company
offers the ideal hosting platform for small companies and
individuals. They provide unmetered bandwidth on higher level
plans and high bandwidth on lower plans, giving customers plenty
of room to grow. Their smallest plan is just $7.95 and includes
15,000 MB storage, 500 GB transfer, unlimited emails, CPanel with
Fantastico, free domain registration for life, PHP, Perl,
SiteStudio and osCommerce. For larger companies, MidPhase offers
shared, dedicated and Virtual Private Servers (VPS), a step in
between shared and dedicated hosting plans. They have a history
of reliable technical support issue resolution, with phone ticket
issues resolved in just about 15 minutes on average.

No. 5: ANHosting (http://www.anhosting.com) was established in
2001 and has quickly risen into a multi-million dollar web
hosting company with three offices in two countries. They offer
17 GB disk space, 500 GB data transfer, ten domains, free domain
for life, 30-day money-back guarantee, PHP, Perl, Python, GCC,
RoR, unlimited MySQL databases, Frontpage extensions, a free
website builder and 24/7 phone and email support with every plan.
Services begin at a low $6.95 and scales upward from there. The
largest plan gives you access to the Fantastico script library,
Site Studio, Agora cart, osCommerce, SpamAssasin and unlimited
emails. Their support is exceptional, with a solid track record
and phone ticket resolution averaging just 15 minutes.

No. 6: HostExcellence (http://www.hostexcellence.com), founded in
2002, offers a broad selection of hosting plans and competitive
pricing. They deliver reliable services with hardly no outages.
The company uses two redundant fiber-optic connections in their
datacenter, using their own fiber-optic look. So uptime is not
tied to telephone companies for the last mile. Host Excellence
also has multiple connections to Tier1 network providers. Their
customer service record is superb, offering 24/7 live chat and
sales services plus online trouble ticket submission.

No. 7: Easy CGI (http://www.easycgi.com), delivers exceptional
Windows hosting at competitive pricing. Their core foundation
lies on industry-leading technology including n+1 redundancy. So
should a power failure occur, a fire erupt or HVAC systems
falter, the company has both primary and secondary back-up plans
in place. They provide the same 24/7 support you receive from our
first six providers, as well as a toll-free access number. The
company offers a range of hosting plans, from an email only
hosting plan, at just $3.96 per month, to their enterprise plan
at $21.56 per month. Their administrative control panel provides
outstanding webmail, web-based FTP, reseller tools,
disk/bandwidth usage, DNS administration, WWW password protection
and more.

When shopping around, consider a ten-year plan for your business.
Most companies stay with the hosting provider they begin with, as
switching can be complicated and cause some downtime. Our Lucky
Top Seven should be an excellent start.
