Best Web Hosting Companies for Freelancers

6:57 AM Technically Easy 0 Comments

As a freelancer, you are your own commodity and having a strong presence online is vitally important when it comes to winning new business and showcasing the fantastic work you have already done.

The good news is that there are more than a few options available that are perfectly suited to your freelance business and can provide you with exceptional service and value-added extras should you need them.

For the most part, the packages are more or less similar. As a freelancer, you may be wanting multiple sites to showcase a multitude of different blogs or you may already a beautifully designed WordPress site that needs to be hosted.

I have collected some of the best offerings available and pointed out where they would be a fantastic help for freelancers so that you can make an informed decision.

iPage

I personally use iPage for my hosting and I have never been given an opportunity to second guess that decision.

The number of extras on offer for a lean freelancer are endless (sort of) and the level of customer support available if things do go wrong, is amazing.

Unlimited domains available, unlimited disk space, free domain for 1 year, WordPress installer if you already have a site and super easy building tools if you don’t.

Either way, £1.50 per for half of these features would be a bargain. As an added bonus, if you go here you can enjoy this package for $1 per month! Crazy.

Bluehost

If you are big on WordPress then you might be aware that Bluehost have been professionally endorsed by WordPress for a number of years due to the WordPress specialism that Bluehost offer.

Bluehost ensure that your site is up for 99.9% of the time in addition to making sure that your WordPress is as fast and responsive as possible.

Great low-cost packages available as well.

1and1

If you are on a budget and looking to keep overheads as low as possible, 1and1 is a great option.

They offer a long list of base services and extras for freelancers either looking to get some low-cost portfolios out there or just need an easy website that works and is looked after regularly.

You won’t have to spend a lot to get loads and this Germany based web host company has been gaining a lot of popularity among the freelance community.

Siteground

Siteground have won awards recently for their customer service and well-rounded offerings so it would be silly to not include them on this list.

They also offer great WordPress hosting packages, amazing free themes and full tutorials for the freelance who wants to do it their own way.

Dedicated 24/7 customer support and daily backups put these guys up among the greats for freelance businesses.

They have received amazing praise for their work recently and Siteground is well worth a look.

“Because I’m Freeeeee…..Freelancing”

As a freelancer it’s important that you receive value for money and can trust your business presence to a company who knows what they’re doing.

These above sites have all been highly rated for freelancers and are among the top in customer satisfaction and incredible cost for services.

Take a few minutes out and have a look at the different levels offered and I am sure that you will find something to support your freelance business.

From portfolios to fully functional websites showcasing your business, you will be able to find a little bit of everything from these hosting companies.

Good luck and happy freelancing.
