    I’ve recently been pointed to hostamina.com after reading around other answers. I didn’t know a thing about HTML, but they helped me set my site up for no extra charge. Granted this was a very basic setup, it will still nice to see them do this!

    I suggest you also check My Webbie Hosting’s Business Plan. It only costs $4.95/month, but it already includes one free domain name, 15 G disk space, 300 G bandwidth, 100 email accounts with antivirus and spam protection, etc.

    In addition, the plan also includes a site builder which you can use to create your own website only by customizing the predesigned templates (check the links below for the templates and demo). Their customer support is also available 24/7.

    I recommend either Godaddy Economy or the Deluxe plan:
    http://www.hosttell.com/godaddy/
    (prices from $4.74/month – $6.99/month)
    Price of a discounted domain with any hosting plan is $2.19

    or Dreamhost http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting.html

    Their standard price is $9.95/month ($119.40/year)
    but you can use the promo code PLUS and get
    $50 discount +2 Free domain names.

    Disk space: Unlimited
    Bandwidth: Unlimited
    2 Free domain names
    Unlimited domains and subdomains
    Price: $5.78/month ($69.40/year)

    I would go with GoDaddy. Great customer support and hefty amount of tools even if you dont know HTML.

    I would suggest http://www.GotHosting.org as they provide a professional sitebuilder to build your website with a great GUI interface.

    They also have cpanel to set up all your email accounts and other instant software to install like wordpress, drupal etc.

    It’s as cheap as the leading competitors (i.e. GoDaddy or Hostgator) but also provides a Development support option that will give you assistance on coding and SEO tactics.

    Hope that helps!

    I like this company because it’s very cheap and they walked me through everything. I received my own personal control panel and was able to manage and run everything from a very user friendly program. I started out with the .50 cents a month hosting and worked my way up when I needed to. They are the best! http://www.dolloarhostnow.com I’m 100% satisfied.

    I was a newbie a while back ,I have an excellent experience with bluehost webhosting.I have called them several times for configuring my SQL database and some php stuff and every time they have solved my problems . Apart from that they also have a pretty straight foward control panel that I use daily.

    Hi, Dont take risk of paying

    because you are just started to go online. Instead of finding good webhosting, I feel is better to find free webhosting

    http://www.000webhost.com/94776.html

    Inside the webhost you can learn how to map up your domain name, what is IP, and what is virtual host.

    Hostamina.com will direct you too a large source of templates and help you with anything you need! Google ranking tips, you name it!

    You should avoid hosts that offer "unlimited" space/bandwidth as this is somewhat of a scam. You should also avoid hosts that offer ridiculous amounts of space/bandwidth, such as 10GB space for only $5/month. Hosts like this overload and oversell servers, and are bad news for anyone who wants reliability.

    You should also avoid answers here that send you to review sites, as those sites make money off commissions and rank hosts based on how much money they’ll get paid, not on how good they are. You should avoid answers here that look like they are affiliate links as well, for the same reason.

    Hostamina.com is exactly what you need. Support is great! They will help you set up your website, and they will provide you with any help you need. Note that I am not using an affiliate link or sending you to a review site.
