Web Site Hosting: No Winner Selected
Please note: the 2003 river2u "1st in Class" award winner for Web Site Hosting has not yet been awarded. Below is our review (updated in July 2003) of our favorite companies in this category. So you want to have your own web site? Just the thought of your own real www.address on the web is enough to send adrenaline shooting through your blood veins. But where? Who has the best deal? That all depends on what you need. We looked at a number of companies offering entry-level web site hosting and were pleasantly surpised at how cheap yet functionally rich the offerings are. Here's our snapshot comparison of some of the entry packages -- be sure to check each company more thoroughly and confirm the details of their offer before signing up.
