So I've decided after not having run a website for almost 7 years now, that I'd like to get back into the game.

As far as registrars go, it seems that I'll be using Godaddy, as it's almost 100% of what everyone suggested.

Hosting is a different story. There are so many different hosting plans and prices that I'm feeling a little dizzy. The two most suggested have been Dreamhost (I've heard bad things) and hostgator. As far as what I'm looking to have, I want to run wordpress for a few months while I do work in the real world, then convert it into a hybrid blog with gaming content.

I hear there's some deal where you can get a Dreamhost setup with a "coupon" for $20 on the first year. Is this a good idea? Would I have troubles switching to another host in a year's time?

Thanks guys. <3
