Does GoDaddy.com allow me to code my own pages or is it only templates?

I have a godaddy.com account and I am very happy with it. You can write your own html and upload it with FTP. You can also learn to program in PHP and make dynamic web pages. They even give you access to an MySQL database to store your data. I have had other hosting companies but godaddy is the best I have ever worked with. Most importantly, they don't try to tell you what you can and cannot put on your website as some providers do.

If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.

As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.
