Ok so thank you to everyone that has been giving me advice and support while I struggle with my oh so slow website!

I have to listen to what everyone has said and realize that if all the experts here are saying my hosting is probably contributing to the slowness I must listen.

Ok so I am resistant because this is going out of my comfort zone. I don't know anything about hosting and I don't know how to change it or what I should do. I have been told that this will mess up my email - something to do with MX Records whatever that means.

So what I want to know from you all is what do I need to know to choose a good hosting company? Do you recommend a specific company and why?

How will I deal with my email MX Records things?

Thank you for sharing your favorite hosting company... I have added them to my list to check out!

Oh it is so nice to be able to get some really good recommendations, I honestly know nothing about hosting so for me it has been a guess as to who I should use. At least now I can make a guess from a few highly recommended companies.

The $400 advertising credits seem like a great deal. I wonder if you have to have the hosting for an entire year, or do they give you those $400 advertising credits upon signing up for a hosting plan?

When I go to Google to find web hosting companies, one that keeps appearing is "HostGator". I have used them in the past to try them out and didn't like them. Their hosting is overpriced, and I believe they "over sell" hosting plans. I use off shore hosting providers because it's usually cheap but then you have issues of the language barrier.

I have been with my hosting I have now for years, and haven't really had a problem with them. Surely they host some questionable websites but I tend to believe all hosting companies are like that. One thing I would suggest is to get a dedicated IP address if you're going to be hosting more than one website. If you could get a dedicated IP address per website you host. It may cost more but it is worth it in the end!
