web hosting plans, quick question ^^ Options

[ChasingLife87]

Alrighty. I'm comparing plans for buying a domain with hosting and all of that, going down the BBOR list (aren't you proud of me? A CB user that knows how to use that! *rolls eyes*).

I'm going to use the main domain as a personal site/blog (I'm aiming toward something like www.beccary.com)... one of the subdomains will be for an invisionfree forum, and then normal subdomains, that type of thing.

Anyhow, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, plan-wise. Lower price equals better (lol), subdomains equals better, and more space equals better, to a point. I don't need gads of empty space I'm not going to use but have to pay for, but I want to make sure that I have more than enough for forums and personal stuff, etc and so forth.

PHP and FTP are musts, I know that (even though PHP scares me, I'd need it for wordpress).

Any advice?

More information.

I've been looking around, and here seem to be some of the best. My intentions for this site are up in the first post (personal, a forum on a subdomain, etc). Maybe someone experienced could help me narrow down.

http://www.bluehost.com
+ $6.95 / month (if 24 month subscription)
+ 4GB
+ free domain
+ unlimited email addresses
+ PHP, MySQL, ftp, etc
+ 20 subdomains
-> my thoughts: more for a small business, with all of those email addresses? Not sure.

http://www.fateback.com
+ $9.95 / month
+ 300 MB
+ 30 subdomains ( )
+ free domain
+ pop/web mail
+ PHP, MySQL, ftp, etc
-> not sure if I want to pay that much for my first website...

http://netrillium.com
+ $3.00 / month
+ 150 MB
+ unlimited subdomains ( )
+ unlimited add-on domains (what does that mean?)
+ PHP, MySQL, ftp, etc
+ unlimited email/webmail
-> I'm no expert on space, is 150 enough for a personal site, forum, etc?

The rest of the ones I could find didn't have the option of subdomains, which I REALLY want... so, what do you think? I'd really like some advice before I buy. Thanks!
