Website Hosting, Server Hosting and Web Design & Development Resources and Services

web hosting matrix

Table of Contents

New! Would you like to compare several hosting providers/ISPs based on quality, pricing, support and availability? I finally got something up that will provide this information to you.

Check out the new Hosting Matrix at Cumbrowski.com. I keep the list of providers further down on the page nevertheless. You can also find other hosting related resources there, which are not being reflected by the Hosting Matrix, but worthwhile to check out as well.

The hosting matrix is structured into four types of hosting solutions. Each of them has different requirements and cost involved. You can not compare the four directly with each other, because that would like comparing apples to oranges and only very little of help to you, if even that. No, a break-down makes absolute sense.
See the Shared Hosting Matrix, VPS Hosting Matrix, Email Hosting Matrix and Dedicated Hosting Matrix.

If you are just starting and this is your first site, I strongly recommend to you to check out the website tracking and web analytics resources, books, software and services and also the email marketing tips, services and Solutions. Monitoring where visitors come from what they do on your site and where they leave as well as building a customer base and provide them with email newsletters are essential to online business success.

Comments to these Hosting Resources

I first wanted simply list various Hosting Providers for Web Hosting and Dedicated Server Hosting, Web Development and Design Services as it is now and leave it at that.

While looking at the different services and what they offer, did I realize that it make more sense to provide information in a more martrix style format that you can select first for available features that are important to you to filter the services out that support those features and then show the available price options as acurate as possible for each.

This should reduce the time you are spending on figuring out which of the services are worth a closer look considerably, giving you back the extra time you can now use for more thorough checks of the remaining few final candidates.
