My self-hosted blog

On 14th December I wrote that I want a self-hosted blog. That was when I was searching around a good web-hosting service provider that can offer a reasonable amount of storage for my contents including images, photos, videos, unlimited bandwidth, etc. at a reasonable price. In fact there are quite a few of them, including hosts recommended by WordPress that complies with the requirements of hosting a WordPress blog.

The problem is not finding the suitable ones, but finding numerous such hosting companies that offer almost identical services within a certain price range that suits me. Then comes the question of which company is the best.

Having even found the best, all on a sudden you come across some alternative suggestions from well-established blog authors and even some negative opinions about why one should not go for a certain host! That lands you in more confusion!

The best way to resolve this issue is to search around and come to your own conclusions. So, I finally decided on GoDaddy.com, bought a domain, hosting space and started a blog named Tech-Sharing. As I am new to WordPress, I would love to hear from experienced bloggers on this question.
