Reviews are very important when searching out web hosting for your websites. When I was new to web hosting and looking for a reliable host, I made a few mistakes. Most of my web hosts have been outstanding– even some of the smaller companies I contracted with– but the best so far is Hostgator, in my opinion. I have a dozen blogs, and Hostgator has been able to handle them all, without a hitch.
Everyone’s hosting needs are different. You may desire “shared” hosting (your website is on a server along with dozens of others’ websites) or “dedicated” hosting (the server is basically all yours), or VPS hosting (VPS is “virtual private server”). See this outstanding article about the pros and cons of VPS hosting, as well as other excellent articles.
I recommend that you study up on web hosting and all the options and information that comes with it, BEFORE you make the leap. I know that if I had done so, I would have avoided a lot of hassles. The WebHostingGeeks.com website is full of very good articles and information about the world of web hosting (and more). I recommend it as a good start in understanding how web hosting works, and what will work for you. They also have reviews of popular web hosts, and a blog filled with tips and articles to make the most of your web hosting. Check them out, bookmark the site!
