Hosting
There are a wide variety of hosting companies available to choose from, and they can vary greatly in price and what is offered. I recommend (and use) Host Gator as a hosting provider for any WordPress blog or informational site, although I can work with any hosting provider for custom designed sites.
Hosting for E-Commerce & Pre-Made Boutique Templates
If you are planning on operating an e-commerce site, I would recommend a host that is specifically suited for e-commerce. These hosts usually offer a built in shopping cart and an easy to use content management system that allows you to update your site without needing any knowledge of HTML.
The following hosts are compatible with any of my pre-made design templates, and are also recommended for e-commerce sites that I custom design. If you would like to purchase a design template and already have hosting from a provider not listed below, just contact me to see if my templates are supported on your host.
Shoppe Pro
Cart & Soul
Bizzy Mama
Designer218
DIY Shoppe Designer
Easy Boutique Builder
Little Fish Hosting
Aloha Shops
Mia Shops
For custom e-commerce site designs, I can work with any hosting provider, although the hosts listed above are highly recommended for their features, ease of use, and availability of support.
