DreamHost’s Shared Starter plan is ideal for brand-new websites…

Web.com is a website host offering an intuitive interface that allows users without cascading style sheets (CSS) or content management system (CMS) knowledge to create pages. Even in a busy web hosting market, Web.com is very successful. As of the time of this writing the service boasts three million customers. There’s a reason why these types of hosting platforms have become so popular. With a service, such as Web.com, you can craft and host attractive sites without a dedicated web designer or information technology (IT) team, which makes it ideal for small businesses just starting out.

HostGator has served over 2.5 million websites and earns average reviews from users, including a 3.6 out of 5 star rating on G2 and a 3.8 out of 5 star rating on Capterra.
