More and more people are getting online and want to have their own website(s) whether for personal or professional reasons. Most want (and don't need anything more) than a cheap discount shared web hosting account.

Being long time users of the web we have tried out many cheap web hosting services. Many of them are not "up to snuff" and have extended down time (where the website cannot be accessed), poor customer service, & hidden fees/charges among their negative points. But there are three cheap web hosting companies that have stood head & shoulders above the rest in customer service and uptime (In fact we have not experienced any down time with these web hosts.)

For all of that you would expect they would be more expensive than the competition, but this is not the case. We've found you cannot tell how good a shared web host is going to be by the price. Some of the best we've tried have been very cheap and some of the worst have been relatively expensive.

Without further delay here are the three best cheap web hosting companies that we recommend:

HostGator



BlueHost



HostMonster
