According to what I have heard on different forums, some clients had problems with Godaddy. Godaddy is a little cheaper in compared with other services, but take into consideration that Godaddy is not a full-featured service.
If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.
As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.
