As Bob said, a reputable hosting service like GoDaddy or 1&1 are the best 
options. You do not want to get your hosting from your ISP, much better to 
use a dedicated hosting company.

FWIW, of my sites, nathanfoto.com is hosted in Atlanta by 
http://www.vianetworks.net/, my frozenlight.eu site is hosted by a company 
called Amen (http://www.amenworld.com), and greatpix.eu is a domain that I 
have pointed at Smugmug.
