Hi,
Im looking for a very first web host.
Went through lots of reviews and asked some people about their host but still cant make my mind.
My final hosts are ; Cove, Dreamhost, Justhost, Bluehost
Anybody use/used them before? Can you give me a opinions of them.
My purpose for the website is presenting my portfolio.
Flash and video is included it.
I think 3 or 4 G are good
Affordable.. that is… under $100 a year.. for me
I dont know what to go for.. some are expensive but people are saying because im beginner, go for cheap ones and i can change later.
But other people are saying, dont for cheap ones, if you are stuck, you wouldnt know what to do and the cheap host wont provide you slow support.
I’m really stuck.. Please help! anybody who used above listed host, tell me your opinion.
THanks

I’ve been on Dreamhost since the last days of 2001. There are times when I think they expanded maybe a little too quickly – some of the infrastructure has been strained from time to time – but they have all the stuff I need for the backend (PHP, MySQL) and they didn’t blow up on me the day I got 13,000 hits.
I know people who swear by Bluehost, but I don’t have any personal experience with them.
For a first web site on a budget your best bet is start logic !
It’s definitely in your price range. Find them here :

Here my reviews
http://www.webhostingreviews.us/
As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. A domain name is a name you want to call your website. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.
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.
