If you’ve ever used a free web host to host your website, you’ll know the drawbacks: ads popping up every five seconds, little to no support, horrible web-building tools…the list goes on and on.

But when people suggest you get a “real” web host or a domain name (yourname, with .com or .net), you’re not sure you’re really ready to take the plunge.

There are hundreds of web hosting ads out there.

Maybe some of them have even shown up on your free website.

Many of them offer hundreds of great services and a good support system…only you have to pay extra.

Some hosts require HTML knowledge.

Some sites can only be edited and built on your home computer because the site builders are not web-based.

So you scroll through ad after ad, listen to one horror story after another, and you wonder there’s a web host that really works for you.

Welcome to Gossimer (http://gossimer.com/).

Not only do they offer domains at the low minimum price of $8.88 per year, but they also do domain transfers for $5.

The domain hosting comes with a large variety of services, including email forwarding (100 personalized email addresses), URL forwarding, DNS, and portfolio management to keep your domain information organized—all for free.

Or if you’d like to try their web hosting services, prices start at $5.95 for a basic 5GB starter pack, which comes with 200 email accounts, one MySQL database, and 200GB of bandwidth.

Other hosting packages are the economy pack (10GB), the luxury pack (20GB), and the business pack (50GB with unmetered bandwidth, unlimited MySQL databases, unlimited email accounts, and 20 add-on domains).

There are no setup fees for any of the hosting packs.

All plans come with 24-hour support, if and when you need help.

Also, there’s a live chat option, which is open for ten hours every day.

To compare the different plans and the services each supports, check the “Compare Plans” option under “Hosting Plans” on the site.

Gossimer users access their site through an easy to use control panel.

Their new site builder, RVSiteBuilder can also be accessed through the control panel, and since it’s a web-based site-builder, you can access it from any computer.

RVSiteBuilder also comes with step-by-step navigation to guide you through the web building process.

It doesn’t matter if you never learned HTML, or if you’ve never built a site before.

Gossimer will walk you through it, and before you know it, your website will be up and running!

Still searching for a reliable, user-friendly web host with a good support system?

Well, search no further.

Gossimer has it all, and it’s cheap too.

Online payments such as E-Gold and PayPal are accepted, so you don’t have to use your credit card.
