how to choose a web hoster?

I want to register a domain name for my small business. For the first half year, I may not have time to build the website, but later on I am going to have tons of pictures and selling staff online. I am think to register a free domain name for the first couple months and then transfer to another hoster which provide a better service when my website is ready. Anyone can give me a suggestion which web hosters are good fit for my need.

• I've used many different web hosts over the last 10 years, with a wide variety of experiences. Here's the top 3. I recommned Hostgator.com There's lots of hosts offering dirt-cheap hosting. But good service and support will make or break a web host. A web host will cost you money in lost business. hostgator.com - cheap hosting with unlimited space, best service I've found, I rely on hostgator of crucial sites. godaddy.com - cheap hosting, pretty good service, not too flexible. I rely on godaddy for sites that aren't as crucial and move them to hostgator if there's a problem. 1and1.com - cheap hosting, lousy service, their billing system is lousy and they may well send you to a collection agency without telling you you've got a bill. Sometimes they'll change settings without notice that will break your website. I use 1and1.com for file storage and cheap domains. They aren't reliable enough for me to put a website on.
• When choosing a web host is important to consider that your web host is, in a way a business partner. While they may be a supplier, the direct influence of their service performance will directly impact on your business.

• I guess I am just bias with this one, TexasDataHost This is a really good host; the owner of the company is really nice and if you have any problems you can contact their service at anytime whether it be in the UK or USA, they have numbers for both. Their service is high quality and they offer a lot if not more than what some other web hosts offer, I really suggest you check them out; they also have fair prices that anyone can afford.
