Not everyone can afford to spend hundreds of dollars per year on web hosting. Some of our customers are just blogging about their kids or about their neighborhood. Others have small businesses that depend on our services. So, at Certified Hosting, we do everything we can to ensure that you not only get great hosting services, but that you also get them at reasonable prices.

However, the price of web hosting isn’t the only cost of running a website. If you have a custom-built website, you may have to pay someone to maintain it and to update its content regularly. Unfortunately (unless you’re a web developer), this kind of service is not cheap.

But there is an alternative, one that is affordable and doesn’t require you to mess with code and risk ruining your website – a free content management system (CMS). If your first reaction when reading the last phrase was “A free what?” you may want to read our most recent article, published in our resource center. Titled Five Free Content Management Systems to Kick Your Site into High-Gear, the article explains the concept of CMS and presents the top-five free CMSs that we highly recommend to our CMS hosting customers.

For a business or individual searching for a high-quality web hosting service, what is the most important thing to look for? Some people might argue that network infrastructure has the widest-reaching impact, as it affects the speed at which visitors can access your web presence, and it keeps your web presence available, period. Others might claim that web hosting is all about hardware power, which guarantees the abilities to handle massive amounts of traffic and to serve rich, exciting content. Or, you might just be looking for a control panel that’s easy to use for routine administration.

At Certified Hosting, we are firm believers in the importance of customer service when it comes to choosing your web hosting provider. Whether you are looking for a shared hosting service, dedicated server hosting, or even a reseller hosting plan, great system specs and unlimited bandwidth are great selling points. However, if you’re in it for the long term, you need a host that you can trust with your business, a host made up of real people who genuinely care about helping you achieve your goals online. But how can you get to know a business through the Internet alone?

We have recently launched a range of new video content that’s designed to mimic a face-to-face relationship and give you the helping hand you need to see your web presence succeed. Delivered in our own inimitable style, with plenty of humor woven in with informative details, we hope that our new videos will mark the next step in getting to know each and every one of our customers.
