Any recommendations on a web design and hosting company?

Hello...

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good, reliable and affordable web designer and web hosting company. I don't have much experience in HTML and don't need a super fancy flash website.

It would also be good if that web designer has previous experience working with online marketers and understands their needs. Thanks.

    I'm a wordpress designer, but for hosting, I recommend HostMonster or FatCow. Both of those providers have completely unlimited plans for around $5.95/month (billed annually) that allow for unlimited domains, storage, and bandwidth. This is helpful for marketers in the sense that they can run multiple sites from one place.

    I can't reply to PM's but if you want to send me your email address, we can talk more about your design needs and if I can't help I can potentially send you in another direction to help you out.

    Here's a tip. Get the hosting yourself at hostgator or hostmonster. They are both good. Then register the domain yourself. Do not let the designer do this for you. They can recommend a domain, but you register it yourself.

    Then get the designer. There's Elance.com, guru.com, scriptlance.com ... and even Warriors for Hire here at the WF to find a designer.

    I have heard too many nightmare stories of designers holding hosting and domain names hostage if the relationship turns bad.

      This is what you can do and I highly recommend this. I'm onto HostMonster as well and I've been loyal to their service until now.

    Hosting : Hostgator But I highly recommend Reliable Unlimited Domain cPanel Web Hosting | D9 Hosting because its run by Internet Marketers and I personally host with them and absolute love the support they provide. Most of all they understand our problems and go out of their way to solve them.

    Designer: Warriors for hire or free-lance websites.

    I personally do designs offline and online so might able to help with what you need but then you can check out sites like elance, odesk or scriptlance.

    Thanks

      Go with hostgator for the hosting and then play around with wordpress. You may find out that you don't need a designer.

    As a designer, I agree with what was said about not letting your designer register the domain. I have never done it and don't see why someone would want a designer to do it for them.

    We can provide both hosting and design services, custom wordpress templates etc etc.
    Hostgator is also a good choice for web hosting for marketers and affiliates.

      David (I think),

      Please DO followup and let us know how it went. We all would gain from your experience.

      Also, I would join the chorus of getting the domain name yourself.

      Good luck.

      Hostgator and hostmonster are great but please Google 1&1 Scam before having anything to do with that company.

    I'm going with most of them here - get hostgator for your hosting. Get your own domain and try getting a designer from Elance or oDesk. You should find a lot there but make sure to check them out pretty well and find a good deal.
