I have selected the following Domain Name: inhisdebt.com

Hosting Company	Advantages	Disadvantages	Notes:	

DreamHost
	Uses green energy(Wind Turbines).
Discounted intro price 20$/month. Easy control panel interface . Has support. Wordpress support included. Has a feature that grants unlimited features.	Must pay non-stop for introprice, or price goes up to 25$/month.
Does not have domain checker. Extra pricing for VPS. This includes unlimited storage, bandwith, e-mail accounts, and domains.	Nothing very special about this host, just normal applications, and pretty much the same as other hosts.	

HostGator	For a single domain (Which is what we need) you get unlimited disk space, and bandwidth. Only 3.96/month. Also 20% off right now. Unlimited e-mails. 99.9% uptime guarantee. Also invested in wind energy. 24/7/365 tech support. Had a domain checker, and web store capabilities.	The only disadvantage I can see is for more domains you need a higher plan. Same with a toll number, or private IP. Also, when you sign up for the 3.96$/month plan you are contracted for 3 years. 1 year is $5.56/month. Goes up as less time is needed.	This seams perfect for our needs, and is pretty cheap.	

Funi	For basic silver plan, you get unlimited bandwith, and 1 domain for only 10$/month.	You only get 100b disk space, and 5 e-mail accounts. They only way to get unlimited e-mails and large amounts of disk space is to go for a very large plan which ranges from 30-100$/month.	This is very pricey, and would be good if maybe they included more disk space and e-mails for the basic plan.	

Based on my research, the hosting company I recommend is:

Please write at least 2-3 sentences explaining to Asoka why you selected this hosting company for the Teenspace project.

Hey Asoka! For hosting the Teanspace project, I would highly recommend HostGator. They have everything on my checklist: Domain name checker, free technical support, unlimited e-mail addresses, and built in web store capabilities. Depending on how long we are going to need the website, it is also relatively cheap!
