I am new to web design and I am currently in the process of putting together my first webpage. My question is what web hosting comapnies should I look at to host the web page. And what is the criteria I should use in making a decision> There is a ton of comapnies out there offering web hosting for various fees. I need to know who the good ones are from the crap ones. Thanx

It all depends on what you are planning to do.
If you want static pages or dynamic pages.
Do you want to built a shopping cart? do you want a forum area like this? polls? advertising or not?
Do you have the money?
if this is going to be your first web page and you are only going to play with the basics HTML,Javascript, CSS then I would recommend they register your a domain name and give 50 mgs and 1g of traffic. and you don't pay nothing ever(except for the registration of the domain). amazing but true so far I have built web sites for some clients (informational mostly) with no problems whatsoever (almost two years now).
If you want to start building some server logic and you need a database go to they give enough space and ASP support for free.
You want to play with coldfusion? go to also free space and server side support.
Obviously you can pay between 5-20$ to 500$ a month depending on the application you have in mind, however why pay if you are just starting and want to learn?
If you are brand new in the game just go to you reserve your name in cyberspace, you have enough room to play and once you master that and want to move to the next level just backup your site change hosts and start with a plan that you are comfortable with wheter is ASP, JSP, PHP, Coldfusion or Perl.
if you are starting on this be smart and look for free resources, by the time you get clients and things get busy you'll already know which hosts to use and which to avoid.

I had a bad billing experience from wehost.net (billed me for a year's service, one month after I cancelled with them, then would not answer phone or emails). They also go dead (phone and all servers) each year around June, and blame it on technical problems. I suspect they don't pay their bills on time, and get cut off. Too bad, as technically, they offered what I needed.

For a great price and allowing multiple domains in the one account, you might want to check out even though their uptime several months ago was spotty.
And they allow use of ASP pages and Access databases for if you decide to move in that direction.
And a good place to ask about Web hosts is at
