<p><a href="http://www.slicehost.com"><strong>Slicehost</strong></a></p>

<p><a href="http://www.mediatemple.net/go/order/?refdom=nikkoshops.com"><img src="http://s235334453.onlinehome.us/crowdtop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/mediatemple.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.mediatemple.net/go/order/?refdom=nikkoshops.com"><strong>MediaTemple</strong></a></p>

<p><strong>Cost:</strong> 3 plans, $20, $50 and $750</p>

<p><a href="http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?150940"><strong>DreamHost</strong></a></p>
<p><strong>About:</strong> DreamHost is owned by its employees. We&#8217;re a tight-knit family and we&#8217;re not looking to sell out to investors or media conglomerates or other gigantic companies who care more about the bottom line than providing solid web hosting.</p>
<p><strong>Cost:</strong> 1 plan, $8.95 with 2 year commitment.</p>
<p><strong>Synopsis:</strong> <strong>Dreamhost is owned by its employees and that is their differentiator. </strong>In terms of features, they don’t seem much different from other economy hosts like Bluehost, below, only at a higher price point.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3704373-10376734"><img src="http://s235334453.onlinehome.us/crowdtop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/bluehost.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3704373-10376734"><strong>Bluehost</strong></a></p>
<p><strong>About:</strong> BlueHost has been providing hosting solutions to thousands of business and personal web sites since 1996. Our internet hosting package helps businesses and individuals get high-powered service at a fraction of the cost.</p>
<p><strong>Cost:</strong> 1 plan, $6.95 with 2 year commitment.</p>
<p><strong>Synopsis:</strong> Like most other economy hosts, Bluehost attempts to differentiate themselves with unlimited storage, bandwidth and website hosting.  Their generic messaging is further supplemented by their promises of  reliability.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.000webhost.com/223351.html"><img src="http://s235334453.onlinehome.us/crowdtop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/000webhost.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>

<p><strong>Synopsis:</strong> 000Webhost changes the rules of the game a bit.  Whereas previously, anyone looking for free hosting would have to deal with advertising and most likely a subdomain, 000Webhost offers free web hosting with neither of those handcuffs.  Although their free hosting has limits on disk space and transfer, it is more than enough for anyone starting a new blog or small site.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.linode.com/"><img src="http://s235334453.onlinehome.us/crowdtop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/linode.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>

<p><a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-3704373-10422155"><img src="http://s235334453.onlinehome.us/crowdtop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/hostmonster.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-3704373-10422155">Hostmonster</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>About:</strong> HostMonster has been providing hosting solutions to thousands of business and personal web sites since 1996. Our internet hosting package helps businesses and individuals get high-powered service at a fraction of the cost.</p>
<p><strong>Cost:</strong> 1 plan, $6.95 per month.</p>
<p><strong>Synopsis:</strong> Hostmonster is an economy web host in the mold of BlueHost.  There is nothing that really differentiates their offering from BlueHost.  Much like the former, Hostmonster’s message focuses on their unlimited features and support.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-3704373-10410811"><img src="http://s235334453.onlinehome.us/crowdtop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/hostgator.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-3704373-10410811"><strong>HostGator</strong></a></p>
<p><strong>About:</strong> Host Gator provides shared, reseller and dedicated web hosting solutions. Our services are designed for both beginners and professionals. All of our shared plans include a 99.9% uptime guarantee, 24/7 support and a 45-day money back guarantee.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/"><img src="http://s235334453.onlinehome.us/crowdtop.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/nearlyfreespeech.jpg" alt="" /></a></p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/">NearlyFreeSpeech</a></strong></p>
<p><strong>About:</strong> Sure, we could offer big bundles for flat monthly fees, but that type of plan actually makes more profit when your site does poorly. Since our price is based solely on what you actually use, we do well when your site does well.</p>
<p><strong>Cost:</strong> Cost based on use.</p>
<p><strong>Synopsis:</strong> NearlyFreeSpeech is the only web host on this list that does not rely on a flat pricing structure.  They charge you based on usage, so if you’re a newbie with a brand new blog, this might be your best bet.  Just don’t be too good too fast, you might end up paying more than you expected.</p>
