www.TourRE.com is getting ready to roll out a national real estate website that is a pretty easy to customize real estate website that is expandable as your business and budget grows. I have used them in Boise, Idaho for proably 10 years now for my website www.IdahoMLStours.com. As we get it ready to launch, I will provide more details as I am their National Sales Mgr.

I am also looking at building some websites for some other things I am working on and am seriously considering using DreamHost for them.

Our platform hosts itself, so hostgator would be our recommendation.

We have been with Bluehost for five years; no problems. And Customer Service has been good, once we reach a person. Wait times have been long but we plan accordingly now (call late nights). Jeff (#3) mentioned not using them but we have stayed with them for five years. If they were not reliable and responsive, we would have switched.

I have used webair for the last 10 years, and its highly recommended by webmasters. Their customer service and tech support are very prompt, Ive never had difficulty reaching them even at the oddest hours.

Placester has a self contained wordpress option. It does not allow you to add out side widgets. It is pretty stright forward and setup is simple and support is good.

Go daddy is definitely out from past experience andoing I'm looking for something with more integrated features than a simple hosting solution such as an idx/rest feed. I wish website box was available but they don't cover my mls.

GoDaddy has improved, but a few glitches remain. Hostgator was very good, but they were bought out, then customer service went downhill. If you're just lookign to host one site, hostgator is fine. People building websites for a living and providing maintenance and tech support would most likely suggest different hosts than someone just needing a host for a few of their personaal/business websites. All hosts are subject to attacks, downtime, etc. A2 hosting is good, fairly priced and has very good customer service. I would stay away from Bluehost. if you are concerned with security, want great customer service, and don't mind paying a little more, WP Engine is one of the best.

I would strongly recommend hostgator, and that's what many webmasters recommend. I've heard many stories on here abt problems w/ godaddy, so I would avoid that.

GoDaddy hosts wordpress sites and there are a few. However, Websitebox is pretty inexpensive.
