This topic is continuously discussed here. See for example http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=41713
The point is that Moodle is a bit more demanding than a static homepage So you need to know how much horse power you need today, and preferably in two years time, and then buy the horse.
My advice is simple: Separate testing and development from production!
If you are testing the suitability of Moodle by putting it to use amoung a group of teachers, don't bother about hosting, providers, domains, etc. There are wonderful solutions to make any old PC (P II, 256 MB) into a moodle server, for example Linux Live-CDs. And don't worry about how to transfer the courses you make later into a producion server. It is a matter of archiving the course to a zip file and extracting it again on the target installaiton.
Once it comes to the production stage you must dimension it and _do_ worry about hosting and all.
What I don't understand is why some people make their lives miserable by going to some "well known" vendors and voluntarily jump into propriotary locks whereas the whole technology is - thank God - based on free standards and the LAMP stack (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP) - a million times proven well known plattform - is just there to grab!
