Bluehost Web Hosting:           This is the self-hosting provider that I chose once I decided to get serious about my blog.  I looked around and found that most of the reputable bloggers that I respect recommend Bluehost.  I’ve had nothing but good luck so far!  It’s super easy to set up a WordPress account through Bluehost and I love that live chat is an option for troubleshooting!  If you are looking for a solid web host I recommend checking out Bluehost here.  And if you want help getting started just check out my tutorial 15 Minute Quick Start Guide to Create a Blog!
