Good host needed

Remember when Mom and Dad warned you don't get something for nothing? Remember how often this proves to be true? Beware of "free" hosting as it often starts with a very small amount of storage space and will cost big-time to add more. Some free hosting accounts require you to refer friends for "paid" hosting to continue to qualify for no-cost hosting. Bandwidth is seldom discussed but can cost you money: low-budget hosting probably allows for less bandwidth (the amount of traffic that they allow to occur between your website and the rest of the internet). I have a client whose story was picked up by CNN who also broadcasted their website address. In one day they had over 250,000 visits to their site and quickly exceeded the allowed bandwidth on their hosting account... with no additional charges while lesser hosts charge for exceeding allotted bandwidth. Ouch!top web hosting
