Notes: comparison of web hosting companies:

IXWebhosting provides dedicated IP addresses. That is important to some people. They provide 2 dedicated IPs for the Expert, 3 for Business Plus and 15 for Unlimited Pro plan.
Why is money back guarantee important? Because if for whatever reason you are not satisfied, you can recover your investment and start afresh with a new hosting company. For example, if you sign up and after setting up your website, you find your website is running very slow. That means that the host is serving too many websites on too little resources. Time to get your money back and move on. Most provide money back within the first 30 days.
Set up is Free on all the above plans.
They all offer email services so we have not included that in the comparison table.
They all provide web site statistics, 24/7 telephone, chat and email support.
They all provide some kind of site building software for those that are not too technical.
Disclaimer: Our company is affiliated with all the above hosting companies and no matter which of the above links you use to sign up, our company will be paid a commission. The reason we did this comparison of web hosting companies was to make it easier for you to compare the various plans from various hosting companies. We hope we have been of help.
We intend to keep this comparison updated at least once a month as more and more people are setting up web sites and it is always helpful to compare the latest web hosting deals.
