Many Churches and Christian organizations are looking for a web host that caters specifically to Christian needs. There are a few elements you may get when you choose a site that specializes in church web hosting as opposed to any other site, and these are well worth consideration.

• Ministryweb.org – the best Christian/Church web hosting
• Other web hosts to consider

As with any service, there is a lot of chaff amongst the grains of wheat as far as Christian web hosting is concerned.

Many of the Christian hosting companies I reviewed for inclusion in RightHostChoice.com seemed just like any other hosting company. In fact (having a suspicious mind), many appear to use Christianity as nothing more than marketing ploy. In many cases there was no difference or advantage in price, apparent quality, services or any other aspects of the company compared to any regular hosting company.

Below are my recommendations to the hosting providers I deem to be the “real deal”, and that provide value for money.

The Best Christian/Church Webhost: Ministryweb.org

Hostek.com and their Christian sister website Ministryweb.org is hands down the winner of my best Christian host award. Hostek also operates a third arm, NPwebhosting for non-profit organizations, with the same benefits and plans.

I have used Hostek since 2002 to host all my Windows websites, and continue to do so. Ministryweb.org have a fanatically good e-mail support that always solves any problems within hours.

Hostek/Ministryweb is a real hosting company, not simply a small Christian outfit determined to set up a server of their own. That means that you get quality, reliability and professionalism you need to cater for the needs of your community. Hostek has been operating since 1998 – an eternity in the world of Internet business.

Hostek is also the winner of my Best Windows Host award – that is how good they are.

Ministryweb offers discounted prices (as compared to Hostek plans) for Churches, Church Youth Groups, Missionaries, Non-profit Ministries and Christian Schools. Their plans are well priced, especially considering the quality of their product. Their pricing is simple and free of any gimmicks strife in the mainstream hosting world.

Hostek/Ministryweb is one of the few hosting companies that offer the whole array of hosting technologies: Linux, Windows, ASP.NET and ColdFusion. They also offer reseller hosting and dedicated managed and unmanaged Windows, Linux and ColdFusion hosting.

Unlike with main-stream shared hosting companies, I do not worry about the Terms of Service small print. Hostek is a boutique hosting company and does not serve millions of clients. That means that they also provide flexibility and personal service the larger companies can’t match. Over the 8 years I have used them, I have never had a problem with overusing anything, and boy, have I tried.

	Reliable, established company with years of experience
	Outstanding uptime record
	Fantastic technical support
	Generous usage limits
	Linux, Windows and ColdFusion hosting
	Positive user experience

Summary

Hostek / Ministryweb is the best choice for Christian or Church web hosting. Their contract terms are fair, their pricing excellent and their support bordering incredible. Technical quality of the services is excellent. Hostek offers a full choice of different hosting platforms to boot.
