What Exactly Is Christian
Web Hosting?
Let us say first that we completely
understand and respect your desire to find a web host that fits
in the mold of your faith. Namely, a web host that doesn't allow
vulgar, threatening, obscene, or pornographic content to be hosted
on their servers. We completely understand your desire to not want
to be associated with that in any way. Any negative sounding comments
made about "Christian web hosting" do not
reflect in any way our opinion or any opinion for that matter about
the Christian faith itself or any of the faithful.
You've probably seen by now
several web hosting companies that market themselves as Christian
web hosting companies. They qualify this by saying that they will
not allow vulgar, threatening, obscene, or pornographic content
to be hosted on their servers. Sounds good so far, right? Your right,
that does sound good so far and I'm sure that they don't allow any
of that obscene material to be hosted on their servers.

Bluehost
offers you much
more for your money than Christian web hosts while still maintaining
a very high standard with no vulgar, obscene, or pornographic
content allowed on their servers.
The problem with these "Christian
web hosting" companies is how they price their services. A
simple price comparison reveals that their web hosting plans are
not priced competitively compared to the rest of the web hosting
market. Their servers don't cost more and it doesn't cost them more
to run their business, but they charge a lot more for their services
compared to what you get. Specifically, the amount of bandwidth,
storage, and number of domain names per account is much less. Their
prices appear to only be marked up by 30% or 40%, but it's much
worse than that because they don't offer nearly as much with their
plans as their competition does. We simply typed "Christian
web hosting" into Google and found several of these Christian
web hosts. Then we took a close look at the web hosting plans that
they offered and noticed their plans didn't provide even close to
as much value to their customers as their non-denominational competition.
Sure, you might say, but their
competition allows for any type of site to be hosted on their servers
and that's just the price that you have to pay if you don't want
to be associated with vulgar or obscene content. And we say that
is a completely valid point, except that there are plenty of web
hosts out there that aren't Christian web hosts, but do not allow
any vulgar, obscene, or pornographic content to be hosted on their
servers whatsoever. These very decent but non-denominational web
hosts offer you a much greater value for your money, and what we
would
like to ask these Christian web hosting companies that offer so
little for so much is, is overpricing fellow Christians such a Christian
thing to do? We don't think it is.

top web host.
You can see that Bluehost is
very strict about what types of websites that they will allow on
their servers, but they are still able to provide great value to
their customers. Read our review of

If your site is not yet built
and you're not quite sure how you're going to go about building
it, my article about getting started
online has a lot of useful information.
We would like to wish you the best
of luck online and in finding a web host that you're comfortable
