Best sites for buying domain names and hotsing

[LooseCallGirl]

Any recommendations on where to buy domain names and get hosting? I made a website about 3 years and used 1&1 because of the price, but ended up being very disappointed with the service.

Site5 is good so far for me.

1+1 for cheap domains 5.99 (I read that it is wise to keep host and domain co. seperate)
