where to host this kind of website

[shamai]

well my website is 60% percent done. its a portfolio website where you can contact me and see my work…
but i may one day want to attach a wordpress blog so there is a blog link but its greyed out for now.

so… where should I host this thing? I’m looking around and reviews all over get my head spinning.
ipage is cheap but i hear bad things… blue host… dream host… some of these places are expensive….

also where can i host pictures if i want to save space on my website?

dropbox, tinypic, photobucket.

thanks ill look into it.
what about fat cow? i see they are having a deal and it ends soon..or do they do deals every day just to get you

well, fatcow and ipage and bluehost are all the same company (endurance international). I hosted at Fatcow for a year (for that attractive amount that’s on showcase everyday of course), but do remember it’s only for the first year, the second year they wanted to charge me $100, so I switched.

why have there been many of these threads… I’m sorry…
so certified hosting seems to have its own panel but it looks ok…
I’ve never hosted a website so I wouldn’t know…
thats why I’m here…

i don’t want to spend too much on my first website.
if it works out well i will perhaps move to a better one… i first need money to afford something like media temple…
to get money i need a website where you could reach me…
