I would also vote Dreamhost (http://dreamhost.com), quite a value with a promocode (yeah, you could use folktrash), a kinda expensive registrar, but you get one free registration with a hosting plan, and their support is excellent.

They've had some growing pains this past year, but I've been a client for over ten and am breaking on through to the other side with them.

Oh, and I've had nothing but terrible experiences with godaddy.

I agree with Piers on Dreamhost. Their shared hosting gives you features you wouldn't get elsewhere (SSH access, mod_pagespeed, MySQL domains, etc). And if you find the right coupon code, you end up paying less then 50 bucks a year.

Moving forward, look for a host that offers both shared hosting and VPS/dedicated hosting if you use it for work. You never know when you might need to use a better machine to run your site.

Shared hosting is probably the way forward. Something like what Dreamhost does.

Have a look around to find something that both fits your budget but also look at reviews. Just remember that you get what you pay for, so don't be fooled by companies offering free web hosting.
