My favorite resources for Internet business include the following.
Hosting your own website is easier than ever with the most reliable Bluehost. I got my start with Godaddy but it seemed like my websites were always crashing but since I switched to Bluehost, I haven’t had a single problem. I don’t know what kind of magic they have going on that Godaddy doesn’t, but I’ve been extremely happy with them and would recommend them to everybody.
