recommendations

My hosting is due soon and I am thinking about trying a new web hosting service. Does anyone know of any good web hosting services that have fair prices? It only has to be for 2 blogs if that makes any difference with the recommendations.

I was reading a little about the frequency of sending emails and that it can be different for different niches but there was nothing as far as recommendations that I could find. Is there some kind of general rule as to how often we should send out marketing emails to our subscriber lists?

I am looking to start a blog after not having one for a while and I am looking for some web hosting recommendations. Who is good, who is not, that sort of thing. It's just going to be for one blog for now and maybe a second if I need it later one. Input is welcomed! :D
