I would like a web hosting site that is:
afforable
easy to use (edit, design, etc.)
Is for businesses so it will accept credit/debit
has a lot of free space to use!

Thanks!

winninghosting.com is great. They are barebones like google was. They just focus on great service and have a super helpful staff. They know how to keep their costs way down but still have all the speed and great features you need so I always go with them and am always very pleased.

I have a friend that wants me to help him with his website, I would prefer for him to not give me his user account and password, and to set me up with my own (for security purposes). Can this be done with Yahoo web hosting?

I don’t believe so, here is their FTP help page for you:

With any cpanel host such as ourselves you can setup multiple FTP accounts if you want. I mention that as I’m not a fan of Yahoo web hosting as they are not very webmaster focused and don’t let you have access to a lot of tools. There are a lot of good hosts out there even if you don’t go with us, bluehost.com, lunarpages.com, hostgator.com, any of those are solid hosts designed for people building sites.

Thanks, Ben

It seems like there are a million web hosting companies out here. I don’t know which ones to choose. Could you share any experiences you may have with your web hosting companies? I’m trying to build a couple of websites to support my business, and I want to get the hosting right the first time around.

I like having options. I try to get as much info about the web hosting companies as possible, compare them, then make a decision. It depends on your business, I think. Certain features might make more sense for you than others. Carefully compare different web hosting companies. Read some reviews like:

Good luck, love.

P.S. I personally like HostGator because of their unlimited domains feature. But a lot of web hosting companies have that feature

There are a ton of web hosting sites, but where do they get the websites, that they sell, from?

They own the servers that host the websites and they sell the server space to people.

Not asking about free web hosting. I mean, how do you setup a website without using a web hosting service. Obviously they run their own website and support other peoples. There can’t just be a never ending chain of web hosts supporting each other. So there should be a way to just buy a domain and host your own website, right?

You can host your own website but it means that you have to have a server, or computer acting as a server running 24hrs a day. Also your ISP may not like you doing this and will restrict, or shutdown your connection. Another thing that you need to consider is that your upload speed is usually significantly slower than your download speed, usual speeds are around 128-384 kbps. This means that if you host a popular site the amount of time it takes for your viewers to view each page will be terribly long to the point of being a victim of it’s own success.
My advice is either use a free hosting service, with it’s downsides or pay for a professional service who can offer significant access speeds.

I don’t know anything about web design. What programs are compatable with Linux Web Hosting? What would you recommend? Do you know about any good templates compatable with Linux Web Hosting?

it does not matter, K-Disk is spreading missinformation don’t listen to him.
Make a site and it’ll run on either.

I want to start a web hosting business. I want to train myself. Where can I find the appropriate online training.

Google.

You’re going to need to teach yourself a lot though:

* What specs are good for the physical servers themselves
* How to set up and maintain the web server software on them (IIS/Apache, MySQL, PHP, Perl and so on)
* How to ensure the server is Secure (firewalls, keeping the software update etc)
* Domain names, name servers and all that jive
* Virtualisation
* How to manage customers accounts; there are some packages that do this for you but you’ll need to learn how to use them
* Most aspects of networking; especially protocols and the like
* Tech support; going to get plenty of people asking you how to do stuff so it doesn’t hurt to know a few languages

I want start a corporation and I hope can use my own web hosting. Like google, yahoo, amazon.com and ebay, are they using their own web hosting? I really dont have any knowledge, Please tell me.

I’m a little confused about your situation… Do you have your own website? Are you trying to resell things? (put in details?)

I probably have the answer for you, I just don’t understand your question.

If you’re talking about web hosting services, I don’t think google, yahoo, amazon, or ebay are web hosting services. You won’t get a website from them. You’ll have to look on the internet for a package that is right for you (how much disk space you want, bandwidth, features, etc.

I am looking to get a domain name and web hosting for the site i built. It is for my PC repair business. Its a small business so i don’t need anything extravagant or anything that will not be worth the cost. I check out go daddy for the domain and they seemed reasonable but the web hosting was pretty expensive. Any suggestions?

If you want to start your business website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.
Don’t trust dishonest claims like "Best web hosting only $1" or "Get the cheapest web hosting without sacrificing quality and features!!". Take into consideration that some hosting companies are cheating and lying to their customers. It is very important that your service be uptime. It means that you can access your account whenever you want to update your web pages, and your visitors can view your website whenever they input your website address. If your hosting service is not uptime it can be real hell!
