Best web hosting for an E-commerce website?

[kperez83]

Hi,

I am working on a business plan for a new e-commerce site that will be a marketplace for buyers and sellers of a certain type of product. I am clueless when it comes to web hosting. So, which web hosting company do you recommend? I need service that is reliable and can handle lots of traffic eventually. Kenny

I used hostgator and I have 12 sites never had a problem. The have a number of plans. You can upgrade as you requirements grow. They a a large company said to host 1% of all websites.

yeah, hostgator is the best one out there, i use the same one, i use to use other companies, changed hosting company every year, but HG has been the best one for me and now its the only one i use.

Does hostgator.com truly offer unlimited features. I've read on this forum that many web hosting companies say they do but actually do not. Also I was reading the fine print of host gator's terms and conditions and it states "You are allocated a monthly bandwidth allowance" even though they state the opposite on there web hosting features page.

No such thing as 'unlimited' when related to hosting,you will always find something in the small print that over rides the 'unlimited' part of the sales pitch.

Thanks Mega B. Are there any others besides Hostgator.com that you would recommend for an ecommerce website?

[Mega B]

As others have mentioned i think Hostgator are as good as it gets.

i know its dated and has its citics but EKM powershop is a simple effective out of the box solution and from my own experience good for beginners, cheap and cheerful it may be but with no contract as such its a good starting off point for a newbie.
Change over to a more specialized provider when you are established.
