How do I pick a good web hosting company?
There are thousands of web hosting companies and they all promise unlimited everything. I need to host a small business website — nothing huge. What should I look for? How much should I expect to pay? What's the difference between shared hosting and VPS? Can I host my site on my own computer?

My advice: don't overthink it. Pick the option that works best for your situation right now. Technology changes every 2-3 years anyway so nothing you choose today is permanent. The best technology is the one you actually use.

Have you tried checking the manufacturer's website for updates? A lot of these issues get fixed in patches that most people don't know about. Also check your firewall settings — sometimes they block things they shouldn't.
I'd wait a few months before jumping on this. New technology always has bugs and the price drops fast. Remember how DVD players were $600 and now they're $40? Let the early adopters work out the kinks and pay full price.
