To create your website you will need a web host to host the files, databases, and emails associated with your domain name. Most hosts can also act as a domain name registrar as well. Below are some of the better web hosting services available in terms of bang for your buck. In any case each is capable of hosting the content management software that we use.

Under each host you will find the date when they were first established, how many customers or websites they serve, the amount of disk space they allow for your files, the amount of visitor traffic and downloads they provide for your website per month, the number of email accounts, and the cost of hosting and domain registration for the first year of service. Figures shown below are for the standard unix/linux web hosting packages of each service.
