These two hosting companies in my opinion are some of the best hosting companies in the industry.
As for me, I prefer hostgator because of the affiliate program, services and monthly payment to maintain your account. Affiliate program pays up to $125 per sale! You can test them and see which one is best for you and your business. To learn more about bluehost visit them at bluehost.com
