Which web hosting company for my iWeb site?

Hi everyone.


I was going to let my iWeb site just die with MobileMe, but decided to go ahead and get hosting for it to keep it online. I'm trying find advice on which company to choose. After looking online I saw this one company called Little Oak is a mac web hosting company, and they are offering a 25% discount right now to host websites (http://www.thewhir.com/web-hosting-news/web-hosting-sales-and-promos-roundup-jun e-29-2012


Can anyone vouch for their reputation? Or can you offer up any other companies that I should consider?


Thank you.

Anne.

Well my site is not too complex. So most sites have the basic features that I need, and most everybody says they are 24/7 support. I called Little Oak because I wanted to make sure that I was talking to someone that is english speaking, and they confirmed that all their technical support is in the US. So that makes me satisfied.


Just looking for someone who is reliable. Any other recommendations, or companies I should look at?

I use Host Excellence as do many other iWeb users.


I have 12 iWeb built sites running in one account and have used them for a few years now.


Their parent company, iXwebhosting offers better value if you only have one site and may need space for another in the future...

... since they offer a free domain name registration and two dedicated IP address for about half the cost of MobileMe.


The most important thing, no matter whereyou host, is to make sure you republish your site from iWeb to your new host. Don't attempt to move the files over from MobileMe.

I use Little Oak for my site, and I can genuinely recommended. They are great. And in regards to pricing, it is relative. You can find really budget and cheap hosting, you can even find free hosting. But you usually get what you pay for. I would stay away from free hosting if you want decent service. I really like and value the service I get from LO. And that 25% coupon looks like a good reason to try them. I've called or IM with them at all hours of the day, and always get great service.


Its true that most web hosting companies offer similar prices and packages, what you really want to see if a companies reputation for service, because when things go wrong, you want to be sure you are going to be taken care of.


I'm sure whoever you go with, they will be able to help you move your site over. Here is a help sheet from Apple to get you started: (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4686).
