Do you have a small website or blog and are searching for options to host them? You would not want to host your site on a free webhost because of the irritating pop-up ads they come with. At the same time the big webhosts are too expensive and are a overkill for the requirements of small websites. Techans recommends you 2 webhosts which are not only cheap but are also reliable.
Normally cheap webhosts are not associated with reliability & dependability. As they say, you only get what you pay for. But there are a couple of webhosts which are cheap and have earned themselves a reputation for being solid & reliable.
The first host is ASmallOrange, the cheaper of the two. ASmallOrange, also known as ASO has a ‘Tiny’ package which provides 75 MB of webhosting for US$ 25 per year. Thats just above $2 per month. Combine this with discount coupons available on the internet and ASO’s own offering of additional free 2 months of hosting, this is the cheapest webhost out there which is fast, solid & reliable.
The second host is Australian based Dotable which starts at 250 MB of hosting for US$40 per year. In case 75MB of hosting is not enough for you, this is a very good alternative which starts off slightly more expensive than ASO but is cheaper on a per MB basis.
Both these hosts provide reasonable bandwidth necessary for small & medium websites. Plus both of these hosts provide the famous & easy to use CPanel hosting panel which also comes with the one-click scripts installer, Fantastico. Moreover both these hosts also offer multiple domain hosting whereby you can host multiple websites in one account, a feature which is very popular now.
Both these sites have a very good reputation on Web Hosting Talk, which are the largest & most influention forums for webhosting reviews.
And as a matter of caution: Stay away from webhosts which oversell by announcing packages such as 1000 GB of hosting at about $7 a month. Such hosting plans are not realistic and the moment you start creating a burden on their resources, you stand the risk of your account getting terminated without notice.
