HowTo:Choose a domain name and good hosting plan?
If you finished all 4 previous steps in this series. You can start looking for a good domain name and register it(even before finding host) or you can just register one within the host registration process.
One of the best sites to look for domain name is the famous GoDaddy.com. It has a great offers with reasonable prices. As I said, you can find a host company and do the two steps together.
WordPress.org list some great host sites which can be found here.
The problem of these sites is that they don’t have a monthly payment cycle!
Which was very important to me, as my MasterCard monthly limit is 50$. So I can’t register with any of the sites above. Fortunately I found a great host that accept monthly payments. Downtown Host has a great BLOG HOSTING plan that will be more than enough for beginners!
As you can see, after this article your blog will be online!
And every thing will be for real! all the work you did with WordPress on your computer finally you`ll see it online!
It`s one of the greatest moments(for webmaster) when you publish your first site..so do it right!
Good Luck, and see you in the next article!

Another important thing about godaddy is that you could register names that arent available anywhere else. For example godaddy has dot FM now for registering names. 1and1 and register.com dont provide that.
As for hosting plans I used webhostingjury.com to read reviews on tons of webhosters.
Well Ari, host reviews sites are very helpful,indeed.
They helped me to choose my current host!
I think, I had to buy my domain name from GoDaddy since it`s cheaper than paying 15$ to my host.
Anyway, Thanks for your valuable comment!
