need a good host, too

[Domain Name Guy]

Hello everyone!

Not sure if this is the right place but here goes nothing.

Okay, my articles and my main ebook are ready. Now I
just need a good hosting provider.

The provider I seek must meet my criteria:

1. Good uptime (uptime > 98%)
2. Reasonable bandwitdh (bw > 5G)

Actually I'm in doubt regarding #2. Of course it depends
on how many people I expect to visit my site.

What's a reasonable amount when starting out?

3. Easy to use mailing list manager (features must include
optin/optout/edit details link, personalized messaging,
& HTML signup form maker to include in upcoming site).

4. Free shopping cart w/ Secure Server Layer for safe &
secure credit card order processing.

5. Built-in affiliate management software to allow people
to become affiliates, create affiliate links, & track them.

6. Add'l scripts to add on in the near future like a blog.

7. Reasonable pricing, of course.

Bottom line, I need a good webhost with at least a good
mailing list manager and a shopping cart w/ SSL for order
processing. The rest are optional though very helpful.

Any takers? Thanks.

Hello davezan & Welcome

Try www.thirdsphere.com - I believe they have all of that and then some

For blogs, try moveabletype.org and blogger.com

I use AWeber.com for my mailing list manager, though many hosts offer a script with their plans...

Hope that helps! I look forward to hearing more

You should be able to find reliable hosting for around $10 per month. That amount usually gets you between 5 and 15 GB of traffic allowance.

I recommend www.site5.com
