Affordable Web Hosting with MyHosting.com

August 17th, 2010 · No Comments

When it comes to affordable and highly-reliable hosting, MyHosting ranks among the best canadian web hosting companies. What’s nice about their hosting infrastructure is that it can support both Linux (PHP, Perl, MySQL) and Windows websites (ASP, ASP.Net and MS SQL) on a single account (as long as you choose either Premium or Professional Hosting).

In the next few weeks, we will launch a series of posts that will show you how to get your website online with MyHosting including various tutorials as well as a tour of their control panel. But first things first, let’s see how to sign up with MyHosting.

Which Hosting Plan is the Best?

MyHosting offers three (3) different hosting plans: Basic, Premium and Professional. You can see a detailed comparison chart here. Basically, the Basic Hosting plan is best for small personnal websites requiring HTML, PHP, Perl and MySQL support. If you need support for ASP, ASP.Net and MS SQL support, you’ll need to go with the Premium Hosting or Professional Hosting plan which offers Windows 2008 and Linux CentOS hosting on a single account, thanks to their hybrid technology. The difference between the Premium and Professional Hosting plans is that the latter offers more capacity (more email accounts, more databases, etc.) and includes a dedicated IP address.

Before you buy a hosting plan, be sure to use the latest MyHosting Coupon Code and benefit from the best price possible!

On the next page, you’ll be offered a couple of options such as additional mailboxes and Mobile Email. Feel free to add them to your cart if you need them.

On the right-hand side, there’s a box to enter a coupon code. We’ve entered the code “MHSUMMER” which lowers the price to $4.00 per month but you can also find more coupon codes for MyHosting here. Enter your coupon code and hit “Apply Code”. When you’re done, click “Continue”.

With every hosting plan, you get a free domain name for a year. If you need a domain name name, register it now or if you already own one, enter it here like we’ve done. Hit “Continue”.

It’s now time to choose the subscription terms. Personally, I think that a one-year term is the best value since it gives you a discount while avoiding you from being compromised for too long.

Make sure that the chosen term doesn’t affect the validity of your coupon though!

Finally on the last page you’ll be prompted to enter billing information. Depending on the chosen payment method, it can take up to a couple of hours before your subscription is activated. Check your inbox for a confirmation email from MyHosting.

That’s it for now! Stay tuned as we’ll post a series useful tutorials that will help you make the most out of your MyHosting account.
