Web-Hosting/What do I need?

I have perused the answers given about web-hosting sites; however, many of the links given are now inactive. My question is this: what is your favorite, inexpensive web-hosting site? Also, I'm not sure what features I need when I'm looking at all these sites. The finished site needs to have a homepage with links to four or five other page sections (think: "about," "contact," "blog," "purchase," etc) and have the ability to sell items (which I guess I could do with a link to PayPal or something). What are your suggestions?

    You'll find that most hosts provide something call cpanel (control panel). From the cpanel you'll tools that will help you quickly build your website(s)...for blogging, I use wordpress, also available from the cpanel applications area.

    The two cheap ones I recommend are siteground and godaddy.

    http://www.siteground.com/

    http://www.godaddy.com/

    They both offer the ability to install any cart e.g. zencart... and others to have a shopping cart online.

    They give away a tone of space and bandwidth for little cash. Depending if you'll be writing the site yourself and using ASP or PHP a database backend you'll need to decide if you want a windows server or linux server(usually cheaper).

    Just do a side by side comparison.

    Good Luck!

    if your not an experience web designer or don't' no what a Cpanel is in my humble opinion you should only use two services.

    I found the cheapest domain and server prices at http://www.1and1.com/ , but the service isn't that great. Cheap prices doesn't always mean great service. I have experience 100% downtime with them, but phone support isn't that great I believe that's its offshore support.

    I have found that http://www.godaddy.com/ is the best !!! 100% up-time, perfect customer service, alot of free applications that are setup automatically like word press, Phpbb, Mysql data bases and more...

    Good luck
