I am trying to make a website and have already registered the domain name. However, I need a host and wondering which one I should use?

inMotion.com
Webhostingpad.com
fatcow.com
asmallorange.com

The website I am trying to make is an e-commerce website like :
http://www.yesstyle.com/

So, I was wondering what type of hosting would I need and what type of e-commerce store does yesstyle use?

Choosing a host for an e-commerce site is driven first by the chosen store platform and expected traffic, not by brand names alone. For a shop like the example in the original post (see ), top priorities are strong TLS/SSL, minimizing PCI scope (or using a payment provider to remove card-data handling), reliable offsite backups with tested restores, predictable CPU/I/O, and a clear upgrade path for traffic spikes.

Hosted SaaS storefronts take most server and PCI work off the table; self-hosted setups usually start on a managed VPS or cloud instance and move to dedicated or clustered systems as load grows. Cheap, heavily oversold shared plans commonly throttle CPU or suspend busy accounts — as warned, marketing that promises "unlimited" resources often hides real limits. Also confirm support for the platform stack, modern PHP/DB versions, SSH or SFTP access, staging, CDN/caching, SSD storage, and DDoS protection.

  • Guaranteed resources (RAM, CPU, IOPS) and overselling policy.
  • PCI support or clear advice on reducing PCI scope.
  • Backup frequency, retention, offsite copies and test-restore procedure.
  • TLS versions supported and certificate options.
  • Staging or clone workflow for safe updates.
  • CDN integration and caching support (object/full-page).
  • 24/7 support, published SLA, monitoring and alerting.
  • Allowed software versions, SSH access, and migration assistance.

As notes, reviews can be ad-driven; prioritize direct evidence (real uptime reports, restore tests, customer references). For reliability (the concern raised by ), prefer hosts that publish SLAs, explain their overselling approach, and offer an upgrade path. The usual sequence: choose the store platform, estimate traffic and SKU count, then select hosting that guarantees the resources, security, backups and scaling needed for a production e-commerce site.

Be careful to not use overloaded shared hosts.
Typically the 'Top Ten' websites are 100% ad-supported.
I've had a good experience with http://www.hawkhost.com/
and http://downtownhost.com/, both of which use litespeed and aren't oversold (selling more than they really have), if something is too good to be true, it probably is.
Another rule of thumb, never settle for 'unlimited', because often these servers are overloaded, or they throttle (limit) your cpu usage (hostmonster is good, but sometimes overloaded, that's why I'm at downtownhost right now), even suspend your account if you use more cpu then allowed.
It's a good idea to keep your domains with another company, I recommend using http://namecheap.com/ for domains, while using a separate hosting account so you aren't locked into one company.
