CMS Hosting?

[arper]

Hello all,

I'm kind of a web hosting newbie, so please bear with me. I tried to read a lot about web hosting and how to find a web host, but honestly there is just too much information that I don't even know where to begin.

I bought a domain from namecheap.com, and now I'm just looking for a good/reliable domain. This is my first time looking for a domain. Basically I need a website to host a lot of audio and some video, plus a blog. Somebody suggested podcasting to me, so that's probably what I'm going to do. I wanted to make this in Joomla, but I heard joomla podcasting capabilities aren't that great. So I might choose a different CMS, I'm not sure yet.

I have about < 2 GB of multimedia that I need to put up there with a blog. As for the bandwidth, I'm pretty sure there will be a lot of hits once the website is up and running (I'm managing a website for a scholar). So even though I might not need a lot of bandwidth to begin with, I would like something that I can upgrade easily, and that's not that expensive. I know this is a silly question, but can anybody just tell me about a good host that won't screw me over?

Thanks a lot.
