I agree that the hosting is very solid with Wealthy Affiliate. But, a lot of people don’t realize that Wealthy Affiliates web hosting is actually managed WordPress hosting. This will cost $30 a month if that is not all they offer (see WP Engine). But, they offer so much more. This makes it a tremendous value for the money.

Also, I do agree that Wealthy Affiliate’s customer support is very good. Usually, they reply within 20-30 minutes. I have been very impressed with the level of support they have.

Some host are much more secure than another host. For example, Turnkey Internet seems to be much more secure than GoDaddy. This has to do with how the hosts maintained their servers. For example, in the past years, GoDaddy has been known to overload their servers. Therefore, there could be thousands of sites on a single shared server. When one site has a huge spike in traffic, the other sites suffer. This happens because they are using more resources.

Different companies do offer security features. For example, Hostgator offers SiteLock. This helps prevent people from hacking your website. Also, SiteLock can restore your site to a previous state if it does end up getting hacked. This does come with an extra monthly fee, though. There are lots of security and backup plugins you can install if you are using WordPress.

Yep, a lot of hosts use this as a marketing pitch. However, they all have limits. Really hate the words “unlimited”.

To answer your question no not all host are the same. What people don’t always understand is that a lot of big host like BlueHost, JustHost, and iPage are all owned by the same company. EIG owns lots of hosts. I believe there are 70+ hosts they own. Therefore, if you leave the one you might just be signing up with another company they own.

Certainly, not all hosts are the same. There are lots of them I feel are light years above other hosts. For example, Siteground has much better support than 1and1. It’s completely different between these two hosts. Siteground bends over backward to fix issues for you. 1and1, on the other hand, is very difficult to work with.

Some hosts are cheaper than others. Some offer more CPU power, RAM, storage, etc. There are hidden fees with some, yearly contracts, etc. Could check out this article on how to chose a web hosting company:

So, web hosting is like cars. Sure there are lots of cars, but some are better than others. Web hosting is no different. Some companies get lots of great feedback. Others can get horrible reviews.

ASP stands for active server page. These are HTML pages with embedded ASP scripts. When a user goes to a website, it loads the HTML and then the embedded ASP script. These are thought to be a little safer. But, this does require a Windows hosting server. Linux-based servers will not be able to support ASP. Also, ASP scripts call on SQL and Access.

Here are three good companies that support ASP.Net:

RoseHosting
A2 Hosting
InterServer
