    If you plan on using Wordpress then you will want Cpanel. Most marketers will highly recommend HostGator. They have great customer service and their plans are very affordable. The majority of marketers on WF seem to use them as well.

      I would second that, hostgator is affordable, reliable and support is good if you have any issues.

    I would also recommend HostGator.

    But try for DigitalPoint's web hosting section if you are pretty low on budget.

      Step 1. Sign up for hosting service. I too vote for Hostgator. My code is MYBONUSBLOG. You will need to get your domain name first.

      Step 2. Look for the email providing the login details and nameservers.

      Step 3. Log in to your domain registrar (like GoDaddy), access the domain manager section, go to the DNS nameservers area, and copy and paste the 2 nameservers provided in the email in Step 2. It can take up to 48 hours for it to take effect (they call it propagating).

      Step 4. Browse to YourDomainName/cpanel and enter the login details provided in the email in Step 2. Once in the cPanel, you can set up email and you can also install Wordpress using Fantastico Deluxe (located in the Software section).

    You may use aspnix.com or marblehost.com.
    These companies have provided quality services which are web master-friendly and uptime is high.
    By the way their prices are affordable.

    I also recommend HostGator they are reliable and if you do have a problem or question their support staff is top notch. If HostGator is over your monthly budget then also consider BlueHost or WebHostingHub. Best of luck

    Shalom,

    What kind of web hosting are you looking for? It really depends on how much bandwidth you need, what kind of site you are hosting, do you need your own server? etc. There's the used car of web hosting all the way to the exotic Ferrari-type hosting, which is why I'm asking.

    If you're just getting started and are unsure, I've had good experiences with BlueDomino.com and HostGator.com (they both have easy installs for WP); I also advise people to stay away from GoDaddy.com because they are not very marketer friendly and their Terms Of Service and Use are simply ridiculous.

    The answer depends on what you want to do with your website. If you want to use WordPress and similar installations, go with hostgator or the other companies suggested on this thread.

    If you want to pay $0.00 for hosting let Google treat you. Get a xxx(.)blogspot(.)com domain. Change the domain name to get rid of the 'blogspot' by inserting your domain name as a custom domain. From that moment on Google gives you free hosting. Yes, you will not be able to do a lot of things WordPress allows you to do. But many of the WordPress things are oversold and don't perform. If the content of your blog is weak WordPress plugins won't save you. If your content is good, you'll appreciate the free ride Google gives you when you have a custom domain.

    It all depends on your budget and your site requirements. Do you need linux or windows based web hosting? Like others have stated, linux hosting with cPanel is best option because you can find tons of open source scripts that you can use to get online.

    Hostgator is my best friend. But I would suggest after you are making bank in IM (which I know you will) to look into getting your own server from them and save tons.
