website help

[Sandman72]

All,

I am looking into setting up a website for a small company that will use e-commerce to sell their product. I have been doing some research on web hosting companies and domain name registrations. I was wondering if you all have any recommendations for the above. Cost of course is a factor. They don't need a whole lot of bandwidth yet. Scalability is important as well. They also need mail forwarding. I look forward to your informed opinions (even some of the uninformed ones :) )

Everyone will have their own suggestions here, but i am very happy with The Prevo Net (http://www.prevo.net/)

Fast servers..very economical..I pay $5.95 a month for 200mb and unlimited email accounts. $8.95 a year for domain reg. Owned by the owner of a computer tech forum that I moderate on.

heres a bit of the blurb from their website:
"Our Data Center features:

OC-3 and OC-12 Sonet Ring connectivity to multiple backbone providers POPs.
A controlled (temperature, humidity, static and airborne particles) environment designed for maximum server reliability
Advanced fire suppression systems.
Diesel powered generators capable of independently sustaining server operations for more than a week, surge suppression and UPS systems for individual servers"
