Joomla Hosting Reviews is dedicated to the best infomation about reliable Joomla Hosting.

Joomla is a versital and easy to use content management system. It can be hosted on many types of servers, from windows to linux and from free hosts to dedicated servers.  If you are new to Joomla hosting it can seem confusing or overwhelming, not to worry as long as you go with a well known hosting company you should be in good shape.

Questions to ask yourself:

• What is my hosting budget?
• What is my level of technical expertise?
• How important is site uptime and site speed?

The answers to these questions will point you in the direction of the type of hosting you are looking for.

If you are new to Joomla and are creating a hobby site, it would be best to go with a shared hosting company that specializes in Joomla such as Rochen a large hosting company that has lots of Joomla experience like HostGator.

If you are a joomla expert, have complex hosting requirements, with a large hosting budget dedicated servers will be best.

If you are somewhere in the middle, Joomla business hosting accounts are a great option.  They are a few dollars more per month and is money well spent.  The servers are fast, reliable and come with good tech support.

Types of Joomla Hosting

Free Joomla Hosting

This is the cheapest and probably lowest quality of hosting.  Things may seem great because they are free but you will most likely spend more effort in frustration than it is worth.  Many times with free hosting you do not get your own domain name or have to run banners on you site that earn the "Free" hosting company money. 

At Joomla Hosting Reviews we have not spent much time on these hosts.  If you have found a great free host we would love to hear about it. 

Shared or Budget Hosting

This is the basic or entry level type of hosting.  Your Joomla site is placed on a server with hundreds of other websites. The price is low about $5 to $9/month.  The price is very affordable because you are sharing the costs with all the other websites on the server.

Want to know the difference between shared or budget hosting plans?  It is not much, mainly marketing.  Budget may be a few cents cheaper but they are typically hosted on the same types of servers just have a different name.

Some companies do an excellent job managing shared servers.  Infact this site runs on a shared server.  If you are new to joomla or publishing websites this is a great place to start.  The price is right and you can get your site up and running in a few minutes.  Then when your site traffic grows.

Joomla Business Hosting

This type of web hosting is a step above shared hosting.  You website is still placed on a shared server, but there will be fewer other sites on the server and the tech support is a higher quality.  With business hosting you will find you site will respond faster with fewer issues.  Not bad for just a few more dollars per month.

Green Joomla Hosting

With green hosting the servers and packages are almost the same as standard webhosting except that the hosting providers will use servers that require less energy.  These hosting companies are made green by either buying energy that is green or purchasing carbon offsets.

True is somewhat a bit of marketing but it is helping the environment.  The price for green hosting accounts is a little more than comparable hosting accounts which go toward the cost of green energy. 

VPS and Dedicated Server Hosting

This is the top end host hosting accounts.  The prices can get expensive $400/month and up.  For the extra money you will get your own personal server or virtual server where you are the only user.

If you have complex hosting or security requirements this is a great way to go.
