Question about SSL, Godaddy hosting etc.

[musicfreer]

Hi all,

I am currently using godaddy's hosting service. However, I heard that godaddy is not a good choice for Zen cart. I have some questions below:

1) if godaddy is not good, would you suggest some good ones with reasonable price?

2) as I have almost finished the site setup, in case I really need to change hosting, anything I need to take precaution?

3) I only accept paypal payment, is it necessary for me to purchase SSL? (I will not ask for buyers' credit card info in my site)

Thanks in advance for your time!

Thanks Merlinpa

First of all, do you think it is necessary for me to change host?

As from the link you sent me, bluehost seems a good choice with low price and it even provides unlimit storage!

I can't believe how it can be so low priced. Is it very slow? or it has other defects?

thanks

I would suggest searching for a particular host you are looking at on this forum to see what other might have to say.

all I can say is price isnt everything,
and alot of times Tons of space and bandwidth is just advertising

thanks

I found that it is not allowed to recommend hosting in the forum, can anyone pls PM me and gimme some suggestions? I have no idea which one is good

I heard that bluehost is not really good, though they advertized unlimit storage and bandwidth, once u are using too much, they will request you leave

what about others?

thanks
