Web Hosting Top 5

There are so many low-cost monthly web hosting packages that are packed with all the right features for small to medium sized businesses that it is becoming difficult to see the forest for the trees. That’s why I thought I’d add to the general confusion by picking out 5 of my favorites among the current crop of promotional offerings. I can’t honestly say these are actually the 5 absolute best web hosting packages available; because there are so many out there and with new offers cropping up every day at lower and lower prices, it would be impossible to review them all, so these are just a few picks that I think represent solid, reliable value based on my humble opinion - or maybe I just liked the sound of their name...
