There are many website hosting platforms out there but those that run on UNIX/Linux and Windows are the ones largely used by companies. If you used HTML to design your website, UNIX/Linux or Windows based hosts would work just fine. If you used PHP, choosing Linux would be your best option while Windows would be your best choice if you used ASP to create your website. Since you can do the programming yourself, finding a company that offers you the space alone will suffice.
If you have lack experience then find a company that can do all your work for you, though this can get pricey. Look at all the options that various companies have to offer and choose the one that best suits your needs.
Depending on the amount of traffic you expect, choose between shared web hosting for lesser traffic and dedicated web hosting plans for higher bandwidth allowing higher flow of traffic to your website.
Some of these when hosts provide backup options in case your website crashes. Choose a host that gives you this option to ensure that your website is always running.
