      What's up with bluehost?

        They are shit. They are only so popular because they pay the most to their affiliates who then make those "how to start blogging" pages and spam em with affiliate links. Their customer service is non-existant, and that's a must for newbie bloggers like everyone is at one point in the beginning.

    I definitely suggest siteground. They have EXCELLENT customer service and tutorials that will help you with everything in setting up your site. It's great. It is SO worth the extra few dollars. If you already bought your domain they will help with with merging to their hosting services, and they auto connect to Wordpress for you!

    GoDaddy was super expensive and slow, once you add up all of the things they don't throw in complimentary.

    BlueHost has terribly slow customer service, but you rarely need it.

    I'm on pantheon and haven't had any issues. I don't know much about it because my SO handles it. Really happy with the platform though.

    Sometimes you can get a decent dedicated server for like 25 bucks/month at OVH, but they sell out quickly so it's important to keep checking for deals. If however, you're just starting out I think a virtual hosting package might be best.
