Is Hostmonster easy for a beginner to set up a basic site? How many web pages are available for its basic plan?

April 5th, 2010 - Posted by Kent

The following is an actual-user submitted question:

Q: I have never designed a website. Is Host Monster easy for a beginner to set up a basic site? How many web pages are available for its basic plan?

A: Hostmonster is ok for beginners, but there are other options which are easier. We would suggest you take a look at our web hosting report card. In particular, you'll probably want to look at two columns: the user level (look for "beginner"), and the site builder ratings, if you're looking to build your own site online (look for "excellent"). We found Yahoo! to be the best site for beginners. Between its intuitive control panel, great customer service, and easy site builder, it's a great option. 1&1 is also rather good, and it's cheaper too. While we rated GoDaddy rather low for more advanced users, it is good for very basic site construction, and might be worth a look. Hostmonster and Bluehost once included a great site builder called Page Wizard, which was very easy to use, but it's no longer offered by them.

As to your question about available pages, Hostmonster (and most others) offer "unlimited" storage space, so you could theoretically have a million pages. Some site builders do limit you to a certain number of template pages, and we try to point those out in the reviews.
