Make sure you do a little research on your web hosting company. If you’re still looking for a good one try to call their technical support line during a weekday. See how long it takes them to answer the phone. Also make sure that they have excellent web site statistics that show where your traffic is coming from. This will be more important as your marketing efforts begin. Verify that your hosting company supports cgi scripts because this is crucial when it comes to adding all kinds of capabilities to your web site. Another great feature to check for is web mail. Web mail lets you check your mail from any computer on the internet. This is great for when you’re on vacation. In summary some of the features you’ll want to look for in a web hosting company are as follows:

24/7/365 technical support

Secure data centers with multiple internet backbones for reliability

Unlimited Email Forwarding

Unlimited Auto responders

Web Mail

FTP access

Web Site statistics

Access to your own cgi-bin directory

SSL Encryption

At least 5 GB monthly transfer
At least 300 Mb of disk space

Some of my recommended companies include Go Daddy.com and Blue Host
