Hey Guys,

I was wondering if some of you can recommend a host for my website. Also, which credit card processor did you go with on your websites?

Thanks,
Nirav

Hi Nirav,

How are you today?

What is your website now, what will it be doing and how much traffic will you have?

We use Authorize.net and PayPal for transactions but we have integration with many other gateways.

Hey Garth,

I don’t have a website now; its being developed I am hoping to get 2500 views daily on it. I have had godady in the past but, it seems a bit slow with the dynamic content due to wordpress. I was wondering if there was a clear winner on the hosting category in terms of price and performance.

I know you guys have the transaction integration. I was wondering which one I should go with? Obviously the lower the rate the better.

Thanks!

We always recommend staying away from GoDaddy hosting. They handle name registrations pretty well, but their hosting is very low quality. I do know that Host Gator has the most WordPress sites than any other host. We use them, but there are also hosts that focus only on WordPress (Page.ly, etc.).

I don’t know the rates for each gateway (because they do change), but we’ve liked Authorize.net. I’ve heard good things about Stripe too.

+1 for Hostgator.
