VPS & Dedicated Hosting

Host Gator
Over the past ten years I have had various web sites hosted by four different companies, and Host Gator is definitely the pick of the bunch. Host Gator offers good value for money, plus it provides excellent quality support, and it consistently receives good ratings and feedback from web hosting directories. I recommend the 'Swamp' plan for most online stores as this will enable you to purchase a private SSL certificate. If your hosting needs grow substantially, you can then upgrade to the Semi Dedicated plan (which offers unlimited simultaneous MySQL connections).
