I have an idea for a review website that allows users to log in and leave there own ratings and reviews on a particular product. like Yelp trip advisor etc. I need to know if there is a particular host that would allow me to create this myself, with basic computer literacy. The host must have a rating system( stars ) and allow unlimited pages, created by users. Thanks for any help.

I’ve had a lot of problems with spam comments on a blog I have on GoDaddy’s Wordpress hosting system, and I spend ridiculous amounts of time deleting spam every day to try to find legitimate comments. Is there a blog system anyone can recommend that uses the "Captcha" system where visitors have to type characters in a box before posting to confirm that they’re actually human and not a spambot?
