domain name and website hosting

    I'm looking for domain name registration and website hosting for a small business. To you guys who run a small business and/or know about such things, who do you recommend? I only need something as basic as it gets: to register a few domain names, to get a few POP email addresses, and a simple build-it-yourself website of just a few pages. I know that there are hundreds of companies that offer hosting. Right now, I'm looking at iPage, HostGator, GoDaddy, and FatCow.

    I recently switched from Comcast to Verizon fios for my business internet connection, and Verizon is offering 6 months Intuit website hosting for free and $19.99/month thereafter. That seems expensive compared to the pricing that I am seeing from the providers named above. I'm finding it extremely difficult to make side-by-side comparisons of the features that are included in the various packages that are being offered from any of these providers, so I have no clue how to begin deciding which may be the best value.

    I'd second http://www.1and1.com . they have some basic site builder tools and offer a more powerful page editor, too. Their primary US datacenter is actually in Kansas, plus the one in PA they have space in a couple others in the US. So there's no guarantee where a specific site will be hosted at.
