I am a student and I have made websites for some companies before but now I would like to make a generic website for myself but dont know how to get started as I never had to deal with hosting or bandwidth before.

I am looking to make a website that will provide users with information about me. In the future I might add things such as ordering or buying products but for now the idea is to provide information only.

I was told not to go for any webhoster outside of Canada as I might risk the confidential integrity of my users or myself.

I have no idea where to get started or what I need.

I now also have to deal with possible security issues or security holes I may leave in my website creation...

So my question here is: What is a good and reliable webhosting company that can be trusted to some degree?
