There are nearly 20 million results on Google for “Joomla hosting“. So where do you start if you want to find a host?
One of the hardest choices is who to host your lovingly crafted Joomla site. Whilst there are certain hosts that you should avoid at all costs (see ‘unlimited hosting’), professionals would be advised to skip the generic hosts and use a specialised hosting company instead.
A hosting company that specialises in Joomla hosting (example 2020Media.com) can offer a huge return in investment for the business. The environment and support will be far superior to the average hosting company.
Unlimited hosting
It’s a promise we’ve all heard before. Web hosting companies all over are offering “unlimited” hosting for mere pennies a month.
The truth about unlimited hosting is that it is actually very limited. If you read the fine print on any unlimited contract, you’ll find that a variety of restrictions are placed on the account, including, in many cases, bans on providing streaming media, image hosting or other bandwidth/storage-intense activities. In short, your use of the server is only “unlimited” as long as it doesn’t cause a problem and, if it does, you may find that your site goes dark.
