There are certainly others that are on par with their level of service like BlueHost, but in the end it doesn't matter too much. Shared webhosting works mostly the same regardless of your provider. Pick one of the top 5 most established providers you can find and do it! |

Depending on what you're looking to do (e.g. blogging, ecommerce etc) I would suggest using the free services around to test and learn (e.g. Wix, Weebly, Wordpress.org, even Facebook). Once you've got a working model or prototype and you really want to self-host, then pick the cheaper ones (and pay monthly so you can switch or cancel if it's not working out) like hostgator, bluehost or site5. I still keep an account with them to do my testing and experiments

Siteground is a great place to start for a beginning blogger. I know that many recommend BlueHost, but I have heard nothing about nightmare stories about them!
I currently use FastComet, another great web host in my opinion. I haven't had any downtime and they respond quickly to my support tickets. They also helped me move over 10+ blogs when I left A Small Orange to come to them. |

I think one of the most important metrics as a newbie is good customer support. The ones listed above like hostgator, bluhost should all be solid choices. at some point you need to just dive in! And don't be too worried about mistakes because they're bound to happen

The free domain is great, but I believe it is free for one year and renews at the normal price. However, nothing to complain in terms of value offered, the hosting costs are reasonable too. Going for the 36 month hosting gives you the best value.

I've used Host Gator for many years and have never had a problem with them.
I also recently purchased hosting at Dream Host for another blog I just recently started. Their customer support chat has been fantastic and everything is going well so far. |

That being said I'm sure at some point I'll be fishing around at other options. There are some limitations in Wix that I didn't expect. For example I wanted to add a calculator to my webpage to calculate the probability of an outcome when using two common factors and Wix doesn't support that kind of code. It's not a BIG deal, but it kinda put a dent in what I was trying to accomplish with my personal site. Anyway I like it. But I will probably be doing more research on this topic as building websites is something I enjoy doing. |
