This is the basic comparison of 3 web hosting services I currently use. They are HostMonster , Yahoo! Hosting , and GoDaddy Hosting . HostMonster differs their package time based. This means, the monthly price for a 3 months package is more expensive than a 24 months package, while disk storage, bandwith, MySQL database quota and everything else is the same for all packages.
Yahoo! and GoDaddy hosting services on the other hand, offer packages based on their features like disk space, bandwidth, MySQL database, and others, and secondly on monthly and yearly basis. To make things simple, this comparison table only lists their top and lowest valued package and basic features to look for.
