Get a Hosting Service [Oct. 23, 2011, 4:33 p.m.]
In this task you're going to seek the advice of your peers about which hosting company they do business with and why. It should take about 20 minutes. You're going to use that information as the basis for your own decision on who you're going to do business with.
Each of your peers who've completed this challenge should have a blog post called "Hosting & DNS" that they created as part of this challenge. Read through as many of these blog posts as you need to in order to begin to form your own opinions and ideas about which hosting company you're going to use. Where possible use the comments section on their blog to ask questions if anything is unclear.
Typically you'd want to make sure that whoever you choose has a support level that you're happy with (you may need to get in touch with them if something doesn't work) and that the price is within your budget. Many hosting companies offer a money back guarantee incase you're not happy so this may be worth bearing in mind.
When you've got a good idea of which hosting company you want to use then spend a few minutes searching the web to see if you can find any additional information (good or bad) that influences your decision.
When you're satisfied that you're going to be looked after by the company you've decided to do business with, go ahead and order your hosting account.
