I've been with 1 & 1 for hosting for about 5 years now. I've been extremely
happy with them. I register my domain names through them as well. They have
a number of packages, all at excellent prices, with great tech support. If
anyone is looking for hosting solutions, you really should check them out.
There's a link in my sig.
