Please view this list of Web hosts for your consideration. Note that some of these services have been awarded by very prestigious entities, rather than reviewed by unknown websites / reviewers. This gives your option much more weight considering these entities use a professional / technical criteria which best determines who should be awarded.

Your main criteria for choosing:

• Evaluate your data storage and transfer needs. The best host for your needs may be the one which offers the least amount of space, while satisfying your needs in all the other areas (most websites bare use a 10th of the space/transfer provided).

• Evaluate your yearly budget. You can save a lot of money with a yearly plan. Try out for the trial time they all offer and you will have an opportunity to opt out if you don't like it. 

• See what these hosts have been awarded for, if the corresponding awards works for your purpose, that is a huge plus.

• Consider Customer Service and Technical support availability, Database Support, Scripting Framework, Compatibility with your editing tools, email features (such as forwarding and anti-spam), Ftp capabilities etc etc etc...

• View any control panel demos they may have available.

• Remember, "The best host is the one which best fits your needs" no one can tell you that but yourself.

Determining your space needs

The next question you will probably be asking is "how much space do I need?" well, that depends on a few things. First, are you just hosting a coupe of html pages  with a few graphics? will you have a downloadable program on your site?  are you including audio files? are you planning to serve napster audio and video files?

The more complicated your media, the larger the files. The larger the files, the more space you will need. As you know, HTML is just plain text; the simplest type of file.  Compressed traffic such as gif and jpeg are the next simplest types of files followed by PDF files, audio files and finally, video. Executable programs can take up a little bit of space or a lot; depending on the size of the program.

In general, however, you should plan for a lot of hard drive space if you want your users to be able to download programs and audio/video files from your site. If you are just providing text information, then you can get away with 30 to 50 MB of storage space. There is one other reason you may need more storage space. If you plan to run a database on your website, or deliver database-driven content, you will need to have some sort of database available on your server. A database can be a simple PERL script and take up very little room on your hard drive, or it can be a full-blown relational database, such as Oracle or SQLServer, in which case you better invest in a multi-gigabyte drive.

Choosing a virtual non-virtual, dedicated or co-located service

As  you look at different Web space options, you'll notice that there is a very large variety of ways to put a website online.  In order of techical complexity and price, these are virtual and non-virtual hosting, dedicated and co-located servers.

Non-Virtual Hosting means that you dont have your own domain name. You either host on someone else's domain name (i.e. www.myspace.com/johndoe/), or you park your site on another domain (i.e. johndoe.myspace.com), which is also called "sub-domains".  There are many websites providing this service, the most noticeable ones are GeoCities, Yahoo and Tripod.

Virtual Hosting is when you park your website on someone else's Web server while having your own domain name. People visiting your site dont know that your site is not hosted ad your physical technical infrastructure composed with servers and high-speed lines, they can't tell the difference. Depending on the size and functionality of your website, these services can go from $4.00 to$100 per month.

Dedicated Servers are targeted for people with high amount of content/pages, heavy files such as video/audio and expected high data transfer rate. The hardware and software is still maintained  by the company and the service usually cost around $50, up to countless dollars, all depends on space and data transfer needs.

Co-located Servers are those you purchase and configure and maintain yourself. You rent a space rack at a near facility and host your website or websites from that location. This is more suited for large organizations that have the qualified personnel involved with every technical minutia related to this type of service. This will most likely not what you are looking for.
