Hosting is the business of lodging, serving, and maintaining files for one or more Web sites. Companies provide space on a server they own to be used by their clients. Besides providing space hosting firms also provide internet connectivity.

A web hosting service is a type of service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web, i.e, content accessible on the internet. The company providing the space on the internet is called a Web Host or Web Hosting company.

Here’s a list of the best 10 hosting firms that have been selected for November 2008:

During the selection of the top 10 companies, the hosting customers are asked questions such as:

• If you incur a problem with your host, how quickly do you receive a response or are they available live on phone 24 hrs/day?
• How much development support does the host offer for your site outside of what they have to per the agreement?
• How knowledgeable are the technicians that assist you on a scale of 1-10?
• Does the host offer any special features that would be considered on the forefront of keeping SEO in mind when offering hosting services (Class C IPs, etc.)?
• How many times has your website gone down because of the host?
