Are you planing on using any certain CMS?

you should determine what type of usage your going to do with your webhost. what i mean is that, you should know what you type of OS you wnat your server running like linux or windows. if you will only use it for storage, then i think it won't matter.

you should also check out the hostgator.com i have been using it and so far they are cheap and have one of the best customer support. you can reach them via email, phone or live chat.

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

I use Hostgator ( www.hostgator.com ) never had an outage ( that wasnt my own fault    ) cheapest package is 4.95 a month and it still rocks
