Does anyone have their own (or small biz) website?

Can you recommend a host?  I have a friend who did her (recruiting firm's) website through go.daddy - and IMO it svcked!  It was very slow, and I know she paid for a premium package.  Obviously the design she did herself, but it took forever for everything to load.

I have also checked out intuit - but while that was better, it was more expensive, too. 

DH had a bad experience with Vista on another matter, so I'm not sure he wants to use them, either!  He has his own consulting business, but is not making a lot of $$ and is trying to find a full time job in the meantime - - so I'm not sure we want to committ to paying a premium price.

TIA!

Re: Does anyone have their own (or small biz) website?

  • I love Go Daddy.  I've had my business and website for almost a year, and the page loads very fast and I've never had a single issue.  I have zero complaints and would highly recommend them.  It's also very cheap.  Are you sure your friend's website loaded slowly because of the host, or could it have been the website having too many things that slowed it down?  (I am not very computer savvy, so this may be a really dumb question).
  • We also use GoDaddy and haven't had any latency issues.  We love it, it works well for us.  I don't have experience with any other web hosting companies.

  • Whatever happened with your friend is a surprise for me as go.daddy has been great for me.
  • I have an account with IX Webhosting. Have for years and love them.
  • godaddy. i've used them for at least 5 years. never had a problem with latency. support is quite good. and the login panel is very intuitive. they have lots of analytics tools too. it's a good option. regardless of their awful commercials...

    my guess is your friend's site is either graphics heavy, she has lots of ads or other plugins running on her site.
