The first choice that I made in My Ecommerce Journey was an easy decision, my web hosting provider. Yahoo was my decision and is my #1 recommended web hosting provider for the reasons that I will list below. While I might have been able to save a few bucks by going with one of the discount web hosting providers, I feel confident in my decision. Yahoo gives me a one stop shop for hosting, domain name, email, advertising, and much more. Convenience has everything to do with why this is the right choice for me, and I recommend for you as well. Later when I am ready to add eStore or web store capabilities to another website it will be very convenient to go to the same place. Yahoo gives me some nice bonuses as well, like $100 in Yahoo and $50 in Google search marketing credits. Below are my reviews of the top 6 web hosting providers. Web Hosting
