This is a question for those out there that have websites. What is your preferred/recommended web host and worth the money.

I'm not looking to create anything massive like a forums site like this one, just a blog like thing for tutorials and program downloads. Maybe a Cydia repo if I get into that.

I use windows azure. It can be a bit pricey if you dont have a msdn account but it works well.

I thought Azure was some kind of program? I'm talking about GoDaddy, BlueHost, etc.

Its for web applications like vms, websites, cloud services etc. I have used hostgator for hosting before. They have pretty good prices.

I've been admin on a site with BlueHost and I personally thought it was pretty good. Although I don't have any first hand experience with ti.

I use 000webhost it's free and I've been paid ones like Godaddy bluehost etc. Personally I like 000webhost the best and they are free too.

000webhost is crap. If you have like 1 unique visitor a day and if you don't have mass mailing and if you want limited everything and so on, it's fine; but when you're up in bigger numbers and you require 350 GB bandwith or more just to keep your site from going down. It's important to have a good hosting.

To OP:
I personally use SimplyDigitalHosting. Good prices and I have the ability to manage all my domains and services from one account.
There's also JustHost, GoDaddy, and so many more! Just gotta do a bit of research.

It should do for his purposes... For any smaller site it works great, and even if you run out of space, I personally use links from either a personal server I own or my dropbox account where I can hold many more GB of files.

BH is actually one of the best IMO. Asmallorange is good too.

I've used GoDaddy in the past and they always had really slow download speeds for me.

I created a account for it and tried to link my domain with them and it wouldn't work. I think I would have top pay to have the domain point to their servers.

They look pretty decent. My only complaints is that it is a bit much for most people and you can only buy 3 months. I suggest http://www.hostmantis.com/shared.shtml. Their plans are really nice and very reasonably priced. They are also really good at hosting forums or other sites because they dont put a cap on their databases unless they are stupidly big. There customer support always seems to know my problems (I am a nub so there is a lot). I like how you can also pick where you want it hosted (LA, Detroit, Amsterdam). I use this on a couple of my sites and highly suggest. If any one wants to purchase you can use my referral link https://my.hostmantis.com/aff.php?aff=582
