So you live on Maui and you need a web site hosted… (Keep in mind, web site hosting is different from website design and creation.) A Maui web site hosting company will only need to do a few things, but they must do them very well.

1) Maui Web Site Host Availability and Reliability.

First and foremost they have to be available. Both the staff and the servers. Their equipment MUST work and they MUST answer their phones. Two things very few Maui companies can do anyway (even including this one, I have equipment break all the time, fortunately none of it is mission critical like a server or network connection.)

2) Speed and Response Time.

Secondly response times must be fast. This is more than likely the reason you are looking to have your site hosted on Maui in the first place. Well unless you are expecting tens of thousands of hits per hour and expect them all to come from Maui residents you can look to the mainland for your service provider. More than likely you will get better service and will save money.

To wrap things up I’m going to suggest you look into using Hostmonster. They have incredibly fast response times (both their servers and their staff!) they make it incredibly easy to do backups, installing software is easy as pie (using fantastico) and thats who I use to host my site.

You Get More Than You Will Ever Use

At $6.99 a month you have the ability to host an unlimited number of websites, you get 15,000 gigabytes of data transfer per month and they claim they will let you host up to 1,500 gigabytes of information (Though I think that is inaccurate, if you even use 10gb over the life of your website I’ll personally be amazed)

You’re going to end up using this ANYWAY!

So if you are looking for a Maui web site host look no further than Hostmonster (and by the way, MOST of the Maui web site hosting companies you run across will host your web site on a service like Hostmonster anyway. So save yourself $50/mo and join Hostmonster (You can move your current website(s) to Hostmonster too!)
