I did go through all those scam companies who offered me the entire world for a single buck! And, you know what? They just ran away with my money one fine night! Other few companies looked good. I paid for them believing that they were here in the hosting industry for a few years and hence they should be good. But, again they gave me space to start my site, but never offered the support or uptime required for me.

After losing my data so many times with many different 1 dollar a month hosting providers, finally, I found the best 1 dollar hosting for myself. It is expertwebhost.net. These guys use R1Soft automatic backups which we can easily use to get backups on our own. Generally, even with Hostgator, we have to ask support personnel and wait until they get us a backup. Earlier, I thought only premium hosting companies offered this backup feature.

Expertwebhost.net is a reliable company which offers web services for small and big customers. The hosting plans start at $1 a month and offers enough resources to host a startup web site.

This company is using CPanel for control panel which is very easy to use. You can install almost every popular scripts including popular blogs like wordpress, joomla and others in a single click using softaculous offered free with every hosting account.

I’m being hosted on their server from almost an year now and never faced any serious problems. You can have a look at their 1 dollar plan at their 1 dollar shared hosting plans page.

If you are using this small trick, It can save lots of time for you by disabling loading web graphics from the web pages. The advantage here is, you can load only the images from the original website or you can load only the graphics you would like to see.

By the way, this trick works only for Firefox and not for other browsers. To use it, start Firefox and go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1672 url. This url corresponds to a Firefox add on named ImgLikeOpera (i.e. Image like Opera) which is a clone of Opera browser facility.

Now, click on “AddtoFirefox” button on the page and install it to firefox (See the picture for reference).

Restart “Firefox” browser. And you will see a small indicator at the right side of Firefox status bar. Set the plugin to load only cached images only.(See picture bellow).

Now, for all sites you browse thru Firefox, it loads only cached images and for all other images, it displays an image place holder which do not disturb the original looks of web page. If any of the images are needs to be loaded just press the Ctrl key and click the right mouse button on that picture and ImgLikeOpera automatically loads only that image for you.

You can also save your bandwidth with this method, because all the un necessary bandwidth wastage is prevented by not loading the unwanted pictures.

Hope it helps you all.
