As I have learned there are many different web hosts out there. I and my friend are looking for one which is as easy to manipulate as SBI but much less expensive.
A friend of mine has some cognitive problems & so I have offered my help in making up a website.
I would like to find the best , easiest to use & the most straightforward Web host
Out there : so you can see why it has too be SOOOOO easy to use as well as straightforward especially as she wants to be able to update and manage the website on her own in the future.
Whilst doing my research I was told to look for the following 3 things - a web host that uses C.panel , CMS , Fantastico - (there are other points , but these are the main ones).
I would like the domain name to be included & easily transferred if she decided to do that in the future . The ability to make up & to be able to host multiple domains on the same account would also be nice.
What is the easiest to use the between fantastico & soholaunch for building a web site ?
The max. she can afford is around $ 100 per year.
At the moment I have 2 websites which I may want to transfer.
Here are some of my needs.
I am looking webhosts that accept Paypal
What is yourAgood refund policy more than 30 days.
Possibly a webhost that offers web site management & building.
A web host that offers traffic statistics & counters.

I personally tried Bluehost but there sitebuilder was too complicated .
Any other in formation that you can provide will be very helpful.
Thanks Craig

I think you will find fantastico is used to install scripts from within cPanel and not design sites Craig.

I have answered your question on another forum. In case you haven't received it yet, here it is:

First of all Fantastico isn’t anything to do with website building rather an application inside cPanel (with most web hosts but not all) that allows you to install CMS’s (Content Management Systems) and various other software in a couple of clicks.

I would like the domain name to be included & easily transferred if she decided to do that in the future . The ability to make up & to be able to host multiple domains on the same account would also be nice.

The majority of webmaster will suggest you keep you're domain name separate from you're hosting provider. I also think this is a good idea. For example HostGator have a fantastic reputation for web hosting but not domain names. GoDaddy is known as one of the best domain registrars but have a bad reputation for web hosting.

The majority of web hosts that offer a 'free' domain will only do so if you pay for a year in advance. If you don't like the web host you will be stuck.

Transferring a domain takes anywhere from 3-10 days and from experience is not a easy experience. If you want keep them both separate and wish to move web hosts in the future it's as simple as changing the 'name servers' inside you're domain account. This sounds complicated but really it's as simple as this:

ns1.oldwebhost.com
ns2.oldwebhost.com

to

ns1.newwebhost.com
ns2.newebhost.com

What is the easiest to use the between fantastico & soholaunch for building a web site ?

Fantastico includes software such as Drupal, Joomla and Wordpress. This software makes creating a website very easy. I recommend you watch this video showing you how easy it is to install Wordpress:

She uses cPanel and installs Wordpress with Fantastico.

The max. she can afford is around $ 100 per year.

At the moment I have 2 websites which I may want to transfer.

Here are some of my needs.

$100 is more than enough for what she is looking for.

Most web hosts will do the transfer for you. Just make sure you find a host with 'add-on domains' That will allow you to have more than 1 website on you're hosting account.

A lot of web hosts also allow you to pay with PayPal.

Some web hosts will also offer a 30 day money back guarantee. That means you will be intitled to a refund if you are not happy after 30 days.

You certainly won't have a problem with that. If you find a web host with cPanel it has a couple of traffic statistic programs built it.

I hope I helped a bit.

Agreed, especially the part about Goaddy and domains and hosting and I am a GoDaddy reseller but would recommend using an alternative host and use GoDaddy only for the domain registration.

As of Fantastico v2.8 and later, Soholaunch Pro is an optional component that integrates into Fantastico. Once enabled, Soholaunch looks to your end users like any other script they install through Fantastico.

What is the easiest to use the between fantastico & soholaunch for building a web site ?

I Think you need some other third party builders or tool which will allow you to work with templates.
Suggest dreamviewer

well there are lots of free website designer tool which is integrated in your PHP Admin ... use them

If you are claiming for the professionally made and business web site better hire web designer for this job IMO

That is truth. But if you really want to create something unique I suppose you will need some more advanced tools involved

To start using any advanced tool you need to know how to use them

would you like to have web hosting that provides good service material? I can recommend one

Be aware. self promotion is not allowed here

This is really hard to find outstanding hosting but some below points could make difference.
1) Reliability
2) Instant support
3) cheaper than others but service is equivalent to others
4) Server Response
