WEBSITES
WEBSITE HOSTING:
WPXhosting.com rocks hosting management with the very best 24/7 chat support. WPX is especially beneficial if you have more than one site, because their monthly rate starts higher than most. WPX is the third hosting platform we’ve used and it is the best one in our experience, for hosting our sites. The 24/7 chat support always goes over and beyond what’s expected, and often help us solve things that aren’t even on their list of services. We love that WPX offers free SSL certificates and make the installation process super easy.
Epik.com also offers great customer service. We especially like using Epik as our domain registrar because their base-line domain prices are the best, without having to have a “bulk” membership like on GoDaddy (about $6 less than GoDaddy), AND their privacy is free. They also have a great design team.
GoDaddy.com – A good all around host, for one site if you need a lot of assistance. But it’s a higher annual registrar fee at currently around $15 per year. GD also tends to have a lot of upcharges for some basic services, such as privacy and SSL certificates.
