Ok, putting my blog coach/mentor hat on for just a second … I have a resource to share. A webhosting rating website. In plain English: it spotlights the best webhosts out there for you so you don’t have to learn who is good or bad the hard way.
Why is it important to pick the right webhost? Simple answer: because bad ones go down. When you’ve been running a heavy traffic site for a few months and you wake up to find out your latest post is not reaching your readers, all you think about is the potential losses: of traffic, of money, of rank.
To avoid starting a commitment with a webhost that goes down a lot, use this service. They have every point mapped out and you can sort them by different characteristics that you are looking for. After all, not every blogger is going to need tons of bandwidth and not every coder is going to need Fantastico and other user friendly services. If you were to ask me what webhost to use, I would start you out at this site. Oh, and they also have sort of a “blog” of articles about webhosting that you will really benefit by. For example, I read this one about the benefits of multiple domains. This is something I have recently invested in.
