Looking for Domain and Hosting Info

I´ve been looking for information about domains and web hosting, because I´d like to have my own. There are so many options available, so many hosting companies and reseller that I need all the info I can get before I can make up my mind. I came across a few websites that have articles and hosting reviews. By visiting this websites I think I learned a few things:

First: It´s not possible to have unlimited disk space and bandwidth for a low price. Shared hosting is a common practise that makes possible prices like $6.00 to $10.00 dollars a month. Any company that promotes the unlimited idea has hidden fees and restrictions. We have to read small letters in contracts, TOS and agreements carefully. Companies sometimes oversell.

Second: Buy the domain name from a trusted company and be sure it´s registered in your name. This way you don´t get "stuck" if you want to change, and it´s supposed to be safer. There are scams in this industry too.
Cheap domains aren´t worthy.

Third: You get what you pay for. If you want top noch service and first class support, you´ll have to pay more for it.

I´d like to share the list of sites I visited that have info and reviews. I think it´s a good idea to look around because not all have the same opinions, and I´m not sure who´s right. Anyway, here it goes:
