I love pair.com ! They are a wonderful website hosting company. You can get as much or as little as you want, whether you only want to post a small personal site or you're a mega-corporation needing all the bells and whistles for e-commerce and zillions of visitors a day. Pair even offers domain name registration under the name "pairNic" -- so you can get everything you need from one place. It's great!
To reach me, send a message addressed to your favorite among my birds to this domain (net).
