Being a neophyte in web hosting

By professional certification, I am not in anyway related to Information Technology. However, due to emerging financial issues and scandals (those who are also speaking the same language as mine would remember the Enron scandal revealed in late 2001), my profession has become more challenging and now encompass the IT aspect of every business process. This is where my current job comes in - being a Systems Validation Consultant/Auditor.

However, eventhough I am somehow engaged in some IT stuff, I can still say that I'm ZERO when it comes to network and web development. Last year, I started studying/learning some basic facts about web dev't. That is for the purpose of building our wedding website. However, it took me months before learning the full knowledge about these stuff -- so I just decided to build our wedding website using the wedding announcer where it's free and they already have templates. So I stopped learning the web hosting.

However, now, my desire to learn more about web dev't suddenly came back. And I no longer want those "built-in templates" to have. I want to design my own habitat in the cyberspace. I'm planning now to have my own website -- built and designed by me. But for this to come to reality, I need a host to publish my site. For that, I'm currently using web hosting choice to help me choose for the right and affordable host. They have fields available in their site where you can key in your specifics to find the right host for you -- considering your bandwidth and disk space requirements. This function I think would be very helpful for me since I can be flexible on my requirements.
