The Major Hosting Companies

Here are some of the major hosting companies (but by no means all of them).

First and probably one of the best know is GoDaddy. Their 24/7 live tech support can't be beat and Dana Patrick has done for them what that duck did for Aflec. Well, they also had a little help from a few Super Bowl commercials. They also have a significant number of plans and website developement tools. No matter what your needs are they probably have a plan that is right for you.

But, if you want to be an "afflilate" then you must supply them with a significant amount of information and they will then decide if they want you as an affiliate or not. But the commission payout is generous and they pay up to $105.00.

The second major company is 1and1.com. They have frequent sales and discounts on their services and excellent 24/7 tech support. They advertise mainly in print, but they are also well known. They have a service package that is just right for any need. Becoming an affiliate is quick and easy. The downloadable manuels are excellent.

The third major company is Yahoo.  They have numerous options all easily available from their main page. Yahoo has a wide variety of web hosting packages also and some very useable website building tools. Yahoo also owns GeoCities where you can get a free website. 

All three companies offer domain registration, but only GoDaddy will let you register a domain for up to 10 years.  The search engines will take your website more seriously if your domain is registered for a long time. 

In our next post well will start our discussion of affilates and affilates programs.
