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?
