I just have to take a moment to talk about this new site and my new hosting company. I had been using 1and1.com for the past year or two and have been generally pleased (not excited) by their offerings. I hadn’t needed their actual customer service until the past few weeks. Let’s just say, I was less than thrilled with the vague semblance of ‘service’ that I received.  I was at the point of getting my new site up and running under a new name (previously located at www.da-graphicdesign.com) and a decision now had to be made. Do I want to stay with this host or change to another?

Once I had decided that I was going to build my site in WordPress and found that my existing host really didn’t cater to or support WordPress, I looked at the recommended hosts from WordPress.org and looked at Just Host and decided that this was the way to go. I have dealt with their customer service and tech support a few times in the past two weeks and am quite thrilled with the results.

I have signed on for a year of hosting with Just Host with unlimited web space, unlimited transfer, free domain name, all for only $4.95 per month. Best of all, they fully support WordPress along with many of the other major programs. So far, I can say that I am very happy with this company, this service and this host. If you are in need of a hosting company, or looking to move from your overpriced, unreliable host, you could do much worse than Just Host.

I nearly forgot to mention the most exciting part of hosting with Just Host, for a little extra (about $0.99/month) I upgraded to their Green eCertified service. What this means is that the servers being used to host this site are powered by solar/wind energy and the servers themselves are Green – emitting 20% lower CO2 than typical servers. That means my trees are a little happier with me. Look at the links at the bottom of the page for more information about Just Host and Green eCertification.
