Yep, it was intimidating and I had no one there to hold my hand. After a month of browsing hosts and writing them all annoying emails which basically asked really stupid questions about their services I finally opted to go with BlueHost, a shared server with the php/sql database I was leaning toward. Although I predicted chewing up massive amounts of bandwidth due to the upload/downloading of large music files, BlueHost offered 3tb per month which sounded pretty reasonable for my brand new site which didn't expect massive amounts of traffic at the get go. I spoke with one company at great length (ThinkHost) and their support was absolutely awesome but unfortunately, their fees were slightly higher and I'm on a really tight budget. I highly recommend them based on their support alone. Anyway, after two months with BlueHost I have no complaints and I have indeed put their support team to the test and they've passed with flying colors. Now . . . if I could only design the damn site. :-) Prior to commencing on the design of my website, I had absolutely no idea what to look for in a web hosting company let alone how I was going to design the website.
