Globat x BlueHost x MarbleHost comparison

I have many websites and in past years I used 3 web hosts: Globat.com, BlueHost.com and MarbleHost.com. With all of them I was at least one year so I can compare them.

Globat.com
Globat was my first web host. They offered amazing disk space and because my first website was photo album I signed up for Globat. First three months there was no problem. But then my site was very often down. A few months later my site was down for 2 weeks. I contacted support 3 times by they was not answering so I switched to Bluehost.

BlueHost.com
BlueHost was a little better then Globat. If I needed support they answered in 24 hours. Good hosting for those who need PHP, MySQL and average uptime. The reason why I switched to MarbleHost after 3 years with BlueHost was very slow page loading - usually it took about 30 seconds to load a static page.

MarbleHost.com
I am over one year with MarbleHost and I am excited so far (I hope I will not need to switch again... who knows). There are no downtimes and my site loads very quickly. When I need to help support answers in 10 - 20 minutes. I signed up for their Enterprise plan which is not the cheapest but it seems it is worth it. If I will get any experience with another web host in the --future I will post it here.

Banner exchange with multiple banner sizes

It seems banner advertising is not very popular in these days. The clickrate is extremely low so banners are mostly used for branding effect. However branding is regular part of marketing and if you want to try banner advertising you should consider to participate in some banner exchange.

How banner exchanges work? Simply - your will put banner on your website and for every banner you display you will get credits. Then you will upload your banner to the system. Your banner will be shown on other members websites and you will "pay" using your credits.

Most banner networks offer only 468 * 60 banner exchange. It is fine but more banner sizes is better. I personally use E-bannerx.com. They offer multiple banner sizes - 468 * 60, 120 * 60, 120 * 600, 125 * 125, 250 * 250 and 88 * 31. What I really like is the fact that they have many members so if I display banners on high traffic page there is enough advertising space for my own banners.
