I'm interested in using another web hosting service. Will I have problems following this course? I'm not really familiar with wordpress as of the moment so I don't have much idea what are differences between these web hosting services.

They're not bad at all, and the interface is decent, although I think it's custom. I know it's not cPanel or Plesk, which is okay.
