I want to trademark my business name - the name of my website.
My business is simply a media website/blog that earns money online through paid ads, affiliates etc. I don't sell products but review them.

I have to classify what 'Class' this business falls under. I am not sure what to enter as I couldn't find the right fit in their suggestions.

Any help in determining what class this would fall under is appreciated.

Maybe, Class 35.
But perhaps you are looking in the wrong place.
In IP, websites are typically literary works.
On that basis, maybe think more about copyright, and less about trademark.

That said, a distinctive logo that your business uses might be able to be trademarked.
