I'm thinking about getting my own domain name, and putting up a small website there. Any recommendations for a service to use?

I want it to be professional (hence, probably not googlewebsites; also, I can't get one of those just yet)
I want to be able to keep it for years (hence, I want a company that's got some stability and isn't going to disappear overnight and take my registration fees with it)
I want to keep a site of perhaps up to 100 pages on it
I don't really care about secure transactions, shopping cart stuff, or most other widgets

Is godaddy.com okay? What do you recommend?

Edit: I guess all I need now is a registrar - web hosting is taken care of. It seems that registrars are less flaky (and less price-variable) than hosting services, so recommendations are still appreciated but I can probably live with what I've got.

I use godaddy for my domain registration and dreamhost for my webhosting. I like keeping them separate so I can move my hosting or domain registration without having it all fall apart.

Dreamhost starts at $8/month (if you prepay for two years at once) and you get a ridiculous amount of space (20GB). Use the following link and I get credit:

Or use this link and I don't:
http://www.dreamhost.com/

I haven't used godaddy's hosting so I can't offer advice about that. From what I recall you didn't get much compared to dreamhost but they might be cheaper.
