When I bought my first domain many years before, I have spent much time to search a free hosting, but finally, I got nothing, and the pagerank of steedsoft.com becomes to zero from 4. So I decide to buy a hosting. I am familiar with DOTNET, not PHP, but I found PHP hosting is much cheaper and easy to use, so after some searched, I decided to buy Dreamhost, the easy reason I chosed Dreamhost, because it saved me USD 97 for the first year, and I can earn more from the Dreamhost Affiliate program.
OK, I notice WordPress.org also recommends Dreamhost another four hosting spaces, and also one Free Hosting.
