Who are the top web hosts?

Read this for the top three hosting companies, from free to paid. Check out how they rate in pricing, customer service and more.

Top free host - Blogger

This is the best free hosting which you can find for your blog. Of course, you get the blog for free and set up everything through your dashboard. The loading time is standard but if you place many large photographs on the home page, it will certainly take a while (for the photos) to load. Most people don't have this problem as their blogs are content-centric. People who have this problem say more with photos than words. Additionally, you can point your blog to your own domain name (which you have registered elsewhere) and still enjoy free hosting.

Top paid host - Hostgator

This is one of the cheapest business hosting which you can find that has good support. Choose from VPS hosting, dedicated servers and regular web hosting. The regular hosting service comes in three plans and starts from about $4 a month. Get unlimited disk space and bandwidth for all three plans. Build your site with the free site builder and manage it from your cPanel, the most used panel in the world. Support you can rely on If you need help, you get it, from pre to post signing up.
