How processor/bandwidth (graphics, database, RoR?) intensive is your site? I'm hoping not too much if you are looking for a cheapo-type host. If you are looking for something a little more substantial, check out mediaTemple. They start at about $20 per month, but you could easily host a couple active sites on one account. As for cheaper, I've not had too much luck with PowWeb, but that's because I wanted something more than just a static web page to be displayed. I suppose if that is all you'll be doing with it, I'd vote PowWeb. Not sure what specials they have going on now, but the last time I had an account with them they were about $5 or $6 per month.

HostGator and Bluehost are two of the industry's biggest. They have industry-standard cPanel. If you're looking for good starter hosting, those two are the way to go.

I've used Bluehost for a while - since they first started up; I was on their 4th server. Now I'm off onto my own dedicated server, but Bluehost seems to have grown tremendously since I left them (1-2 years ago).

HostGator's introductory plan starts at $5/mo, and I've heard a lot of good things about HostGator.

Just make sure you're not running anything that breaks their TOS: CPU intensive sites, file-host sites, Proxy sites, etc. They're kind of restrictive since they're shared hosting.

Is $41 a year with GoDaddy hosting it a good deal?

Whatever you do, do NOT go with Godaddy. Their hosting provider doesn't have a great control panel, making it harder to switch servers. It's also not full-featured. I would highly recommend Bluehost and Hostgator over Godaddy.

Hey,

1st) Just because you bought a domain you do not have to rush to get a host, it can sit for as long as you need to. Making the wrong choice in your host will make your life much harder in the long run.

2) I should be more then able to host your site if you are interested. My shared plans start at $6/month, if you want to get something a bit bigger PM me and I may be able to offer you a discount.

Get bluehost or gator host.

I used bluehost as the server space and the bandwidth is huje. I have over 40 websites running in there and their control panels are updated regularly.

If you want to make some money, you can even resell some of the space to your non-tech friends - you do need the technical knowledge to do it like changing MX entries and so on.. I made a few thousand dollars doing this.

Then again its up to your budget also. How much are you willing to pay for a hosting? PsiPro is right - do not rush into this. So what if your website is launch 10 days later? Decide carefully. ..

I have tried a few other servers in the past and most of them sucks especially when I wanted to migrate my websites elsewhere as they the webhosts company prefer to keep you.

Since gator host and bluehost can host unlimited sites, you only keep one domain with them. The other domains can bounce around to others hosts

I recommend bluehost!!
