I'm working on building a website for my temple.  We checked out a bunch 
and selected http://www.ochosting.com/

I am absolutely blown away with the quality of service, speed of 
connections and DNS, and cluefulness of support at speakeasy.net DSL.  
They are more expensive than some (the plan I'm on is $59/mo for 608/1228, 
2 IP addresses, unlimited dialup, 24/7 support that knows stuff...), but 
for me it's worth it.  If you add the cost of your current connectivity at 
home to the cost of web hosting, you probably come close to that anyway.

If you go DSL at home, you can do anything you want with your website, and 
you get faster personal connectivity for using the internet yourself.  The 
only downside is you have to admin the box itself, but I've heard you know 
a little about that linux stuff  ;)  And of course the initial cash 
outlay.

 
PS: Not that I would want you to get it if it wasn't the right decision 
for you, but I can get a small referral kickback if you join and mention 
me.  But I am so happy with it I'm recommending them to everyone who asks.
