There are tons of options available for hosting your web site. If you’re just getting started you might be okay with a shared hosting like Bluehost or Host Gator, but I find these systems more trouble than they’re worth. The big downside is the “shared” part. Your website competes for resources with possibly hundreds of others hosted on the same server.
We prefer a more hands on approach to managing websites. We recommend Linode.com for virtual private servers. The benefits of Linode include:
- Full root access to your servers
- Out of band server access
- Guaranteed resources
- Data centers in multiple geos
- Dedicated IP addresses
- Easy DNS managment
All of Pacificmountain Enterprises web sites are served by Linode virtual private servers. Contact us if you have questions about our experience with Linode.com
