With all the choices for hosting your WordPress blog, how does one decide. We’ve tried a few, ranging from small to large companies. PressedbyAmbie.com is using GoDaddy’s hosting solution. They were next on our lists of companies to try. We’ll add them to our recommendations if their service is up to par.

| HostMonster | $6.95 | Free | 1.5 TB | 1.5 TB | ***** | Yes | Super |
| DreamHost | $6.95 | Free | 1.5 TB | 1.5 TB | ***** | No | Super |
| HostGator | $7.95 | Free | 600 GB | 6 TB | **** | No | Good |
| Yahoo | $11.95 | Free | Unlimited | Unlimited | ** | Yes | BAD |
HOSTMONSTER - SUPER
The good - Fast servers, lots of bandwidth, excellent 24hr customer service, cPanel admin page loaded with features. Easy WordPress install.
The bad - None yet!
DreamHost - SUPER
The good - Fast servers, lots of bandwidth
The bad - Customer service response time only OK. Admin panel a little confusing at first.
HostGator - GOOD
The good - Fast servers, lots of bandwidth, cPanel very feature rich, good customer service.

Yahoo Web Hosting - BAD
The good - Fast servers, lots of bandwidth, very easy to use admin page, easy WordPress install, good uptime.

Thanks for the recommendation Daniella. The price is nice and the speed of your blog seems pretty fast. I will definitely add them to my list of WordPress hosts to test in the future.

It is also easy to backup and transfer all your websites from one server to another server if you have cPanel installed.,.
