Best Web hosting

Hey guys.
Well, I used to design websites like 10 years ago. My friend just approached me today and asked if I would be interested in making him a site.
Im super rusty at doing HTML/graphics , but, I think I'll be able to get it back.
I was wondering though, who offers good web hosting for a decent price?
Thanks!!

You still use an FTP program to upload stuff though, right?

I've never found it to go down yet. And their service is A+. Phone support lots of tools and goodies. I have the Linux Bussiness Pak at 9.99 / mo. it included 3 donain names and scads of space for the price. I've used lots of different hosts, and this one is by far the best one yet.

No problem.
I've tried a lot of different hosting companies, but this is the first one I've ever felt comfortable promoting or recomending to anyone.

getting urself a nice synchron 2mbit line and hosting my stuff myself proved to be the solution to shoot for.
but thats not an option for everyone ofcoz, anyway i wanted to throw that into the pool as a considerable option aswell. peace ohm

Thanks again for the reccomendations again.
I would llike to larn some PHP .... do you need a program to write it/compile it?
Lol... yeah, maybe if I had a company I would host my own, but, this is going to be a pretty minor site.

You write it with any text editor. It is compiled on the fly by the php engine.

*ahem* interpreted :/
I recommend Scite as a simple editor with syntax highlighting for any OS. There are better ones, but this one works, is lightweight, and open source.

yeah, 1&1 is a good host, I have a free account from them that is a very reliable account. (they gave a bunch of accounts away when they first opened)
And then I've also got an account with made2own.com that I am about to cancel... one of the greatest hosting companies I have used, and only like 3 bucks a month for 300mb storage and 20gb of transfer. but I never use it for anything, so it's wasted money for me.

The best host i found is HERE
They have unbelievable prices, and the most disk space/bandwidth I have found available for the price. Their starter package has 5 GB disk space, 75GB transfer,5000 email accounts. This package is on sale for $4.95 a month for the first year.
I have 2 accounts with them now, and plan on buying a third here in about 2 weeks or sooner.
**EDIT IN** I forgot to mention, when you use globat, you have no need for an ftp client, as you can upload/delete/set chmod etc right thru their control panel, you need no extra ftp client.

For freeeeeee these dudes keep a class post
http://www.freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?t=26552
Otherwise my personal recommendations are
http://www.solidinternet.com/ & http://www.hostcolor.com/
I haven't had any down time with solid over the last few years where as host color have a 24 hour support team but do go down from time to time. (But not on me)
