Your Best Options for Hosting your Startup Website
An old friend of mine was contemplating hosting his own website and asked me about my recommendations in terms of technology. I asked about his requirements and use cases. his response was:
"The start up will be educational and tutorials for anyone. Later it will grow to sell software programs, technologies and ideas"
If you happen to have a similar set of needs, I suggest at the start that you use a service either free or paid. The following services are the most viable solutions:
- www.squarespace.com (paid)
- www.wordpress.com (free+paid)
- http://sites.google.com (free)
When you start selling we will use other augmenting services including google checkout. Paypal and authorize.net. Squarespace is my number one choice. Wordpress is more viable if you want to start free the upgrade later. All these services import from each other and can export to other formats. You can also
use the wordpress platform on the other hosing providers as your Content Management System (CMS).
