One of the most important decisions you will make as a blogger is to decide, where to host your blog. If you initially make a bad decision and you have to move hosting company, it can be costly both in terms of time and temporary loss of ranking, from the search engines.
Factors to consider in picking a host
Price: Fierce competition between the hosting companies have caused hosting to become very cheap. You can expect to pay between $6 and $9 per month, for an entry level web account. Costs which can quickly and easily covered by income from your blog.
Hosting quality: The problem with many of the blog hosts are that they try to put too many accounts on one server. Slowing the overloaded server down.
Service: Every hour your blog is offline costs you money. If you run into a problem , which is server related, you need quick quality service. Because of the pressure on prices some blogging hosts have reduced their technical support.
So, what I recommend is that you stay away from the cheapest hosting packages and go for one, which is low cost but good value.
List of the top blog hosts:
Number 1 Pick: Host Gator - Host Gator is my number one top blog hosting pick, because they not only haven't compromised on service or hosting quality. As far as hosting companies goes this one really has it's act together.
2. Blue Host - Blue Host is slightly cheaper than Host Gator, while still maintaining a very high standard of hosting.
3. Go Daddy
4. Host Monster
5. Just Host
