zymic is not that good, I found freei.me as the best free host on earth. They give the highest bandwidth and the greatest diskspace. The only drawback is that they use vistapanel instead of cpanel, but that is also not bad. But I am going with Xisto - Web Hosting now as they provide cpanel.

When I checked Xisto - Web Hosting packages, I found this $1.95 package the cheapest, but do it will satisfy the needs for a wordpress blog. Please share your views.

I feel google adwords is the best as it sends you the most targeted traffic to your site unlike bidvertiser. Now a days facebook ads is also a good option as they prices are quite cheap and they do send targetted traffic based on people's interest.

you can use notepad++ for php editing. It is easy and best as i used it. For proffesionals dreamwaver is a good option.
