On selecting a good webhost:
selecting a webhost is easier than you think!
Before you pick a webhost you have to consider quite a few things. FIrst of all, did you ever run a website? Did you test free services beforehand? Do you really need a webhost? Do you want to run a commercial site or a private project? How do you want to make money of it in case you do? Do you plan on building a great site and don't know how to make money with it? Rather make a testrun on free provider and switch to a paid one later. If you built traffic to the free site and are able to monetize it, it will be easier to create a new project in the same niche.
