Picking a host and picking your colors

May 17, 2009 by Emily Hill 1 Comment

Today I have two handy resources for you business owners, and they’re so self-explanatory I can probably get away with one paragraph for today’s post. This is a good thing since I’m trying to get ready for a trip back east to visit LeShan and making sure the kids get fed and bathed and tended is a bit more important than making sure I have super nifty blog posts for our readers. (Don’t take it personally–if you’re a mom you totally understand!)

The first is a list of the Top 10 Web Hosting Providers from Web Hosting Geeks:

Independent reviews of the best web hosting providers. Cheap professional web hosting services under $10 a month; all web hosting plans include at least one free domain name registration and 30 day money back guarantee. Review your web host–let other webmasters know the best and the worst!


The list includes rank, provider’s name, features (space, traffic, price), bonus features and an actual review. Top on the list? Immotion. Bottom on the list? You’ll have to check out Web Hosting Geeks’ full list for yourself!

The second is a tool I didn’t know existed but now that I’ve seen it in action I totally love it! I Like Your Colors from Red Alt lets you put in the URL from a website whose color scheme you like and then spits out the hex codes for all the colors it uses!

It’s not perfect (where did #0000FF come from for georgie tees in the example above?) but it will give you enough colors to get you started. Try it on your own website and see what happens! And bookmark it so you can use it when you stumble upon a site whose color scheme you adore. Have fun! –Emily
