Wondering if you guys can advise what is the best host for a Photographers WP website.

Use Own Domain Name

Using a custom Theme.

Would it be best to use Wordpress's own paid hosting or go outsdie witha local Australian host like http://wphosting.com.au/ or http://www.ventraip.com.au/hosting/deal/

I need to register my domain also is it best to do that first or as part of the hosting deal?

Advice greatly appreciated.

Hi Flying XS,

As a personal preference, I would always opt for full control of my intellectual property and therefore go with my own webspace and my own domain.

I am a VentraIP Melbourne reseller - I offer a web hosting and development service out of Melbourne (floatingbridge.com.au). I have over 20 websites running on my VentraIP account and have found them to be down extremely rarely (I use Uptime Robot to monitor uptime) - i.e. downtime is negligible. VentraIP are also good value and Australian server located means they are quick to access for locals :)

Feel free to let me know if you would be interested in having me setup an account for you (and...@floatingbridge.com.au) below the advertised cost.
