I host at a place called Powweb - they are $7.77 a month - unlimited space - unlimited bandwidth. (They have a promotional for 1/2 of the first year.)

Unlimited space / bandwidth - it's a shared hosting package, so you actually share server with many others - and the unlimited space & bandwidth is basicly as long as you don't hog all the resources or use so much that you cause other sites that are hosted there to slow down. So most sites, it is a great place - but if you have a really active site, it may not be the best.

They also have a forum with many active members who can help out with many questions - http://forum.powweb.com/

It's pretty reliable - occasionally there is down time, usually not for any long amount of time.... but for the price, I'm happy.

As for domain names - I purchase all mine through godaddy - they are very reliable, price is OK and I've been happy with them.
