When you are starting out on the Internet and just putting together your first website or blog it is very important that you choose the right webhost.
First, there is the Shared Web Hosting. This type of hosting means a location is shared by many websites. All the websites in a shared server will share the resources such as space, bandwidth, IP address and so on.
These hosting plans will usually provide only one root directory for all of the domains and sites you plan to build. You will also be allowed one "primary domain". All other domains will have to be "parked" or added on to the primary domain. Without getting too technical, let's just say that some Shared Web Hosting UK scripts don't "play" well with others. And many just don't like being installed in sub-directories!
The easiest way to do this is to just go to the top of this page and use the domain name search box supplied. Anyone can register a domain name within the framework of allowed suffixes provided it isn't already taken.
But, how far can an Affordable Web Hosting go? For most web hosting providers, it still means good quality service, a great and flexible plan, and a guarantee that they will stand by.
Ask for reviews about particular provider in the leading hosting/webmaster forums. This way you will be able to find out more about host's reputation among its peers. You will see what are the pros and cons of the service. Note there is no "perfect provider" but there are a lot of awful ones.
If you're not comfortable asking a company a whole bunch of questions then just find a friend who has a few websites online and ask them which host they use - like I said a recommendation from a trusted friend is worth its weight in gold when it comes to shared web hosting.
