I've posted this stuff before, but hopefully you'll find some of it useful. Also avoid EIG hosting providers like the plague. If you need more help, feel free to DM me!

First, get a domain:

  • I use Google Domains.
  • Namecheap is also super great.
  • If you use shared hosting (see below), they often offer included domain names with your purchase.

    Second, find hosting:

  • Github Pages offers great static site hosting. Free.
  • Shared hosting like DreamHost is great if you aren't comfortable managing your own server but want access to databases (they also give you email addresses with webmail access). Costs a monthly fee.
  • Use a combination of PaaS like Heroku and Firebase. Free (can pay for more features/performance).
  • Your own VPS (virtual private server) like Digital Ocean lets you configure just about everything if you're okay with system administration. Costs a monthly fee.
  • Buy a Raspberry Pi and hook it up to your router (assuming your ISP gives you a public IP address). This is essentially setting up your own server. One time cost.

    Third, figure out how you want to make the site:

  • Use a CMS like WordPress, BoltCMS, Grav, DjangoCMS, etc...
  • Use a static site generator like Hugo or Hexo.
  • Write everything yourself (too many options out there to link, depends on your language/technology preference).

    Other stuff:

  • You can get free SSL certs for your site (especially important if people are going to be entering information) from Let's Encrypt.
  • CloudFlare acts as a CDN and IPS/IDS to help protect and optimize your site (they have a free plan).
  • A good option for students is to grab the Github Student Developer Pack, which includes a bunch of free goodies.

    A few more things you can play with:

  • C9 is cool for prototyping and playing around in a VPS playground with a nice built-in editor. It has a free plan, but last I checked it still requires a payment card for verification.
  • HyperDev is another cool Node-specific playground.
  • Forestry.io is a new service that gives you CMS-like functionality with Github Pages. I have not used it.
  • Prose is an editor application for managing Github content.

These are a lot of SUPER specific questions that don't really deal with webhosting in itself. I would definitely be looking into high performance postgresql as you're probably not going to get a lot of dbas here. This is implementation stuff, and it's mostly stuff that you're going to have to research yourself. There may be a web host that deals in what you're looking for specifically, I'm not aware of one but you may be able to find it.

So, they're 7200k SAS drives? Hahahahahaha!

You have a bright future as a used car salesman.

My ISP is Spectrum cable and my router is this.
