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.
Shared Web Hosting is the kind most people start off with. These review websites would often like to have you believe that there is actually a "top 10" list of web hosts. The truth is there are probably only around five quality shared hosting companies around!
So, you have a name, a plan and a place for your site to live. Finally, it is time to start designing! The choice here is to try to build yourself, "self-build", or find a professional to do the job for you. A half way house some use is to find a family member or friend who dabbles in Shared Web Hosting UK design and will do the job for as little as a case of beer. I would strongly advise against this route as the design process can be quite intense and is apt to place some strain on any personal relationship if significant redrafting is needed or the design is not all you had hoped for. If your first designer is not up to the project you can fire them and move on. Letting go of a family friend can present far more issues.
A Registry is the company that looks after all the actual domain names, and because each Registry has so many millions of domain names under their control; they deal through Registrars.
Another key ingredient to finding Affordable Web Hosting is to make sure the control panel is simple to use. Most people that own websites aren't programmers. The webhost should provide you with an easy-to-use program that allows you to manage the site. If possible, try to see a demo. This is a great way to really get a feel for the controls. It's the equivalent of taking a car for a test-drive. See how your website might look sitting behind 'the wheel' of their control panel.
Blue Hosting, established in 2002, offers unlimited space, emails and bandwidth at a low price tag of $3.95 per month apart from a host of other features.
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.
