After choosing your hosting site another good suggestion would be to invest in your own site/domain. They are really not that expensive and you are in control of your site, not someone else. Also search engines tend to like custom domains, which in result make it easier for your site to rank.
It would be a good idea to test out some of these hosting sites for yourself and see which one works best for you. Play around with the template design and what widgets they allow you to use. All these things help make your site the most custom and unique it can be, which visitors love.
