I've been using www.dreamhost.com, and I've been very satisfied. It's about
$8/month.

I am using MyDomain.com, and they are OK, and reasonable at about $10/year.
But I have found some problems with their URL forwarding ("stealth" or

via hyperlinks, show the same URL and title. See my post on
alt.www.webmaster.
