I told my sister I would help her build a website if she let me use some of her hosting space. LOL I have been researching hosts though and have not found alot in terms of... help I guess. So far Lunarpages looks good.. also host monters looks good too... It will be a media site with pictures and so forth. I know the portion I want to create will have alot of images and etc. I am a little wary though about going with a company that gives you tons of space and bandwidth for such little money. Can anyone think of a good hosting service I could check out? Thanks ^_^

EDIT
Something that will also let me use things such as:

I've been using Surpass Hosting for the last three or four years, and I've been really happy with them. My website hosts thousands of pictures with over 600 hits a day, and I've had no complaints with my $15 a month package.

My website: http://www.rockman-exe.com/

Their support desk is also super fast in helping you.

I've had a couple of sites hosted on Lunarpages for a couple of years now without any huge issues. My sites together average about 1GB or more of bandwidth per month and use several databases. So far, I haven't had any major problems except the occasional short periods of downtime.

I've used a few hosts thus far and Lunar has been the most reliable. They respond relatively quickly to tech issues, too. I had to nag them once after breaking my site (of course it turned out to be my stupid arse fault =P).

I wish I could recall who the other hosts I've had are now... but I can't.

You probably will want to take what I say with a grain of salt though, since I very very infrequently require my host's support or anything else. The most I need to know is what versions of php and MySQL are installed and what the path to sendmail is
