Best Web Hosting Site Around

When you are looking for a web hosting firm to host your company`s web site, you should not just go with the cheapest option. A web hosting company should have the ability to keep your site running, and that aspect of your business out of your mind. An effective and efficient web hosting site is necessary for any internet-based business. As its growth in the United States continues at a brisk and steady pace, 1&1 Internet, Inc. has been named the Best Web Hosting Company of 2005 by Host Review, a leading independent Web hosting research and analysis organization.

Host Review said it selected 1&1 for its first-ever annual Best Web Hosting Award based on the company?s overall product offering, value, customer service and users` reviews. 1&1 ranked first out of 10 different companies overall in the Best Web Hosting Company category and also placed fourth in the Best Budget Hosting group, which recognizes Web hosts that provide the best opportunities for starting a business by offering affordable prices and superior features, technology and support. "1&1 Internet was the dominant web hosting company of 2005,? said Darren Tabor, CEO of DevStart, the parent company of HostReview.com.

1&1 has significantly impacted the U.S. Web hosting market since it first introduced its most-features-for-the-money approach in this country in late 2003 by offering one of its best Web hosting packages?a $1500 value?free for three years. The company has subsequently enjoyed rapid success, currently ranking as one of the country?s 10 largest Web hosts with its growth consistently trending upward. Its very aggressive marketing and competitive pricing have continually had a ripple effect on the entire U.S. Web hosting market as overall prices for hosting packages have fallen while features have simultaneously increased.
