Web Hosting in 2012

There is a growing trend happening in the world of web hosting and frankly I am not a huge fan! More and more design companies that host websites for clients are taking business owners website hostage for lack of better term! When a business owner wants another design firm to redesign or takeover their web work, the original web design firm who is hosting the site won't give the business owner access or the web files to their website.

Here is the 411-you the business owner OWN your website. You paid for the services of the web design company. You can take them to court and you will win. But my biggest piece of advice here is don't let a web design company host your website. You will save money by going to GoDaddy.com and purchasing your own hosting package.

Purchasing hosting from a private design firm will cost you anywhere from $25 to $500 per month. Purchasing that same hosting package from GoDaddy.com will cost you anywhere from $1.95 to $9.95 per month. You do the math! And you get peace of mind! No unethical company is going to come along and take your website hostage!
