I use your-site.com.  $5 a month, 50 mb, no ads, 
25 email accounts (though I never use those ^^;;), 
and a cgi-bin.  They're very good about contacting 
you whenever they're doing repairs that might 
interrupt service, or whenever they have a problem 
(both of which are rare, in my experience.  I've 
been with them for 2 years now, and they guarantee 
that they'll be up 99.9% of the time).  Domain 
registration is an extra $20 a year, and the 
domain is yours: you can take it with you if you 
decide to leave them.  

I got the domain because I was tired of constantly 
having to jump free webpage providers when they 
either went under or bit the bullet and decided to 
make ads mandatory.  It's just easier this way; 
and came in handy when I wanted to look 
professional graduating from a multimedia and web 
design program *G*.

Good luck!
