Hello Nitin,

Unfortunately we can't vouch for the reliability of GoDaddy web hosting, but they are certainly a big name in hosting so they should know what they're doing...  I've never used them personally...  I prefer smaller web hosting companies with fast, personalised customer service.

However, what I can tell you for sure is that you will need your web host to support PHP scripts and MySQL databases if you want to make use of many of the more advanced features of WebSite X5.  Look for a web host which supports PHP version 5 or greater, as earlier versions won't work correctly.

The choice of operating system is yours, but if you're looking for a recommendation then Linux would get my vote.

Kind regards,

Paul

You're welcome, Nitin.

I am based in the UK and use a company called Vidahost:

https://www.vidahost.com/

I cannot recommend them highly enough.  They employ only skilled, trained technical staff, so if you ever have an issue then the adviser knows exactly what you're talking about and can deal with it quickly and efficiently.  Their customer support is legendary...  available 24/7, with most queries being answered within 10 - 15 minutes!

In addition they provide true cloud hosting, clustered across multiple servers, and not dependent on any one server for continual uptime.  Their cloud hosting is capable of absorbing sudden peaks in heavy traffic to a site, and is highly scalable, so it's easy to upgrade your site as and when it grows.

However, Nitin, you must bear in mind that this is specifically a UK web host.  There is a school of thought which suggests it is best to choose a host with servers located physically close to your target visitors.  Generally speaking, your site will then appear faster, and may even rank higher in search engine results.  Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with Indian web hosting companies, as you can probably appreciate.

Big hosting companies like GoDaddy, 1&1, and Namecheap are fairly global in their outlook, and could serve your purpose well.  My own experience is that customer service is definitely not as good, and many advisers are not technically proficient, which can be frustrating.

Remember too, that Incomedia have links with a company called A2 Hosting...  I am sure that they wouldn't have formed a business relationship with them if they didn't think they were good at what they do.

Hope this is somehow helpful.

Best wishes,

Paul
