Finding The Right Web Host

I recently bought my own domain name for this blog. I haven't switched from free hosting yet, because I can't make up my mind which is the best way to go. I have been reading the top web hosting reviews and there is so much information, it's hard to make a decision. It all boils down to which features are the most important to you. I had no idea there were so many options available, and have no idea if I would even need any of them. I really need to sit down and go through each site before I make my final decision. It is important to me that I chose the right one, because this blog is my baby, and I want to treat it right.
