Web Hosting Buzz [Review]



Our budget web hosting plans are perfect for basic websites, blogs, and hobby projects. Since you get a free domain with every hosting plan you purchase, you can have your site up and ready for page views in no time. If you are switching hosts, please remember that we will gladly migrate any cPanel site free of charge.


Overview

Web hosting isn't something you tend to think about everyday. It's something you purchase when you first get an idea for a site, you set up, and then hopefully forget. But having a good web host is like having a good foundation for your house. If you build the mansion of your dreams but lay it on a flawed foundation, you put your entire house in jeopardy.

At WebHostingBuzz, it doesn't matter if you are hosting a basic website, a blog, an online community, or a store processing hundreds of transactions a day. Your website should be running efficiently so you can spend more time promoting your site and less time hassling with slow or unreliable web hosting. Whether it's our server admins who are on staff 24/7 ensuring the servers are balanced, our CTO making sure our technology is the fastest and most reliable at the best price point, or our support staff ensuring any issues are resolved in a prompt manner, we work tirelessly to make sure your web host is the last thing you worry about.

yes yes yes
Cron Jobs Full cron and cron job support is included with all hosting plans, allowing you to automate the running of your every day scripts.

yes yes yes
Mime Types Mime types tell browsers how to handle specific extensions. For example, the text/html mime type equates to .htm, .html, and .shtml extensions on most servers, and this tells your browser to interpret all files with those extensions as HTML files. You can alter or add new mime types specifically for your site (note that you can not alter the system defined mime type values). MIME types are often used to handle new technologies as they appear. When WAP technology first appeared no one had these extensions set up on their server. With MIME types, however, you could have set it up yourself and begun serving WAP pages immediately.

yes yes yes
Apache Handlers We use the Apache webserver on all servers as the main tool to serve your pages. Apache handlers allow you to control what Apache will do with certain file types. When Apache sees a file, it has an action built in for that file type, and will perform that action. If you wish Apache to do a different action, you will need to make a handler to tell Apache to perform that action. For example, if you use a file type that requires a special service to run it, such as a movie file (.mpg) that you wish to run through a specific streaming server, you need to tell Apache to treat these files differently.

yes yes yes
Manage Open PGP Keys The Manage OpenPGP Keys Menu allows you to add public and private PGP keys to your account when extra security and encryption is needed.

yes yes yes
