Webhosting Companies, which is a good pick?

Man, I seriously thought I was going to be able to get my official domain for this blog.  But, it seems that I would have to wait till I get back to Miami, and then focus on doing it.  For now, expenses will never allow it.  I mean, it’s not that I can’t afford it, but it’s not top priority right now.  For one, I am not going to pay $118 up front, for a 2 year contract deal with anyone.  When I get back to Miami though, that would be a different story.

I found this site called SiteGround that was very impressive with their wordpress hosting offer.  The most impressive offer is the $4.95/mo for 2 years.  I was going to go with that one of course, but it’s a contract of not monthly payment, but a 2 year period.  You pay $118 approximately, up front and don’t get any hassels until 2 years later, to pay that $118 again.  I thought it was an interesting deal, because I’d have no hassel with bothering with monthly payments and so forth.  It’s because of this long period you’ve contracted yourself with them, that has it at $4.95/mo.  I was going to use my credit card, but decided that when I return to Miami, it’d be a better deal for me to do it then.  I didn’t want to cough up $118 from in this country.

Another site I checked out, was Media Temple.  I was interested in their 2GB offer, but they too are doing the 2 year or 1 year offer deal, where you don’t have to pay any set up fee.  Free is always better, I’d like to say.

Finally, I checked out Dreamhost.  I was interested in their 200GB offer, but they too, yet again like everyone else, is doing the whole 2 or 1 year deal.  They are all good if you are living in the United States of course.

In the end, I believe I am going to go with SiteGround, but if you are a webhosting guru, I would love your assistance!

Which of the above site do you think would be worthy enough to host my blog?  Would it be, SiteGround, Dreamhost or Media Temple. 

My desires for a good hosting, would be a lot of bandwidth.  A lot of storage space.  I would like them to have reasonable, well put of, customer service.  I would also like a lot of email addresses, and possible unlimited addon domains, along with subdomains.  My last webhosting site Peoplehost, were excellent with customer service.  They were great with their tech support, response were almost immediate.  But, I was paying $25, for 2GB.  Now it seems that they have different offers, so I was suckered into the one I had.  But that’s okay because it was something implemented afterwards and they were nice enough to add on space to my account when I told them the difference in pricing and the amount of space other’s were getting, who were paying the same $25 I was paying all the time.

To be honest, I think I was paying too much money and I have found and heard a lot of people talking about other webhosting sites that are more reliable and provide more space for less money.  I am looking for about $4.95 to $15.00 a month.  I am not a rich person, especially as I am here, and money has to be converted. 1 USD = 6 TT.  So try converting how much I’d have to pay, if I was having a $4.95 account and so forth.

Alright, that’s all for today.  I am not in the mood for more lol.  I am in the mood for sleep.  But, if you can help me out, I’d so appreciate it.  I plan to either wait, or just go ahead and do it, but for now, I am looking forward to your responses.
