Getting A Domain

I am planning to get a new home for my site. I thought of joining the ranks of the multitude of bloggers out there and become successful. But first, I have to get a new home. I would like to ask suggestions from you guys, if you're reading this post :). I am soliciting advice as to the how-to's of setting up a new one. I have been searching for the top hosting sites online and best offers and so far, I am inclined to join bluehost or justhost but it seems there's a new list of Top 10 Webhosts just now. I got a different list earlier today when I searched for the top 10, that was dated July 2009. I think I'll have to review again.

Any suggestions/recommendations? Please let me know, and thanks!
