Hello everyone!

If you're looking to have a website created for you or your business, one of the most important steps besides finding a developer is finding adequate website hosting. There are a few things to consider when finding a host, such as price, page speed, shared vs dedicated hosting and the user friendliness of the control panel for the hosting service. 

We will be going over most of those subjects in this post. I will be going from personal experience, as everyone's expirience may differ.
