For those who don’t know me, I designed JasonMark.com from the ground up.  No, I am not a professional web designer, but I’ve learned a lot from trial and error and everything you see on the website is self taught. And of course, I’m always open to suggestions from others, but this post is not about getting help. What I really want to do is answer a question that I get all the time.

“What did you use to make your website?”

There are several parts to this question. In short, I used Dreamweaver CS3 for the layout, Adobe Illustrator for the vector graphics, and of course Adobe Photoshop for the photography. However, the real secret is the web hosting service that I use, which provides me with the customer service I have learned to love, a plethora of useful tools and tons of knowledge just from other faithful web geniuses.

The BEST and MY FAVORITE web hosting service is DreamHost.com. I am able to use the same hosting service with them and sign up for several domain names. I’m a visual person, so for those of you who don’t understand the lingo…

In short, multiple domains, one hosting service.

i.e. (3 domains using 1 hosting service)
“domain1.com” — |
“domain2.com” — > “hosting 1″
“domain3.com” — |

Here’s why I absolutely love DreamHost.com:

1. Their packages are all inclusive and provide the regular joe schmoe web designer with all the space we need.
2. Their customer service is exceptionally amazing. I’ve received same day personalized emails with learning the how to utilizethe tools they offer.
3. Transferring websites and registering new domain names is a breeze.
4. If you need a blog, like this one you’re reading, I installed it with one click, there are several one-click installed programs available for DreamHost.com followers. WordPress is a free software available to anybody looking create a fully customizable blog, but unless you have some programming knowledge, it’s a real *itch to install, but DreamHost makes it easy with their one-click installs.

In my next post, I’ll tell you why I love Gmail so much.
