I used to have a godaddy account and it seem to be pretty good, and the price was reasonable. Im shur there are better ones but i was happy with godaddy

Are you planing on using any certain CMS?

All the advice given you here has been excellent.  Once you determine exactly what you need I would also suggest you checkout

http://5dollarhosting.com/  I have purchased a Reseller account and I can tell for my needs they fit like a glove and they're very reasonably priced.  If all you need is a place for 1 site $5 a month - no kidding and it'll run great. The SimplePlan® has all the things you'd expect - but a price you wouldn't!
