Is Web.com a reputable web host?
Question:
I’m trying to decide between web.com & iPage as my webhost. web.com charges $19.95 per month for service, but i’ve seen many bad remarks & comments regarding them. Should I go with Ipage or give web.com a chance?
Answer:
You’ll find bad remarks even about the most reputable web hosting companies simply because people fail to read the terms of service before they buy something. Then they cry and complain like a bunch of sissy little preschoolers when they can’t figure something out. Instead of blaming their own ignorance for not reading, they use immature bully tactics on social networking and complaint sites and berate the host. I see it happen countless times. If you read between the lines, they are mostly subjective complaints with no objective findings. Ignore them.
You don’t mention what type of site you’ll be making. Web.com is expensive windows hosting. You only need Windows hosting if you’ll be running Microsoft products on the web server. Some people think they need Windows hosting because they have a Windows operating system on their PC. Not true. The web server is independent of your O/S so go with Linux hosting.
That being said, choose iPage over Web.com. It’s a difference of $2.95 vs $19.95 a month. You’ll get unlimited hosting space and bandwidth and a free domain name. If all you want is to have a cool website or blog and plenty of resources to do it with, iPage is perfect. They’ve got an anytime money-back guarantee, so don’t worry. You’ll also be doing the planet a favor because their data center is eco-friendly using renewable energy.
No Inode Limits
You may not know this, but even though most web hosting companies give you unlimited disk space for your website, they still limit you on the number of files you can have on your hosting account. Those files are called inodes and they include your web pages, images, emails, etc. If there’s a file on your account, it gets counted. iPage has NO inode limits.
