I have made websites that run on windows servers with html as the code before, but had never build a website that runs on Linux Servers and uses PHP for code before I build this blog and my website “Internet Marketers Organizer“.

If you are doing any kind of Internet Marketing, you need to make sure you get a hosting account what runs on Linux Servers.  Most if not all good website scripts run on PHP Code and with php code you need linux servers.

When I first started buying a few website scripts, I didn’t know I needed a hosting account on a Linux Server, so they didn’t work on my Windows Server Hosting account.  So I paid money for something I couldn’t use.

I don’t recommend 1and1 Website Hosting even through I have two websites with them.  They have been great and have many tools to help you build a website and their support in fast and good.  It’s just for Internet Marketers they are missing a few good programs in their hosting accounts. 

The main things you are looking for are a CPanel and Fantastico.  The CPanel is your admin panel where you edit / create your website.  Fantastico is part of CPanel where you can install blogs, forums, surverys, and many more applications that will run on your website.

With CPanel you can install a WordPress Blog in under 5 minutes.  Way Cool.

I recommend getting a NameCheap Hosting Account, as this is what I am using today and they are great to work with.
