Best WebHost + Domain

[ubik]

Hey whats up people. I have a friend of a friend that wants to hire me after reviewing some of my designs, to be their Webdesigner.

I've always just either used free subdomains or when namezero.com was still up for free I was using that, but recently I've been hosting my own site on my own servers, but i dont keep those up 24/7 just experimental stuff.

I want to know what all you people think would be the best deals on webhosting + domain and reliable hosting. I am currently looking at HostRocket.com's 2 year plan @ $8.95/m

$2/mo dedicated static ip address means you can have to static ip addresses for 2 dollars a month.. thats like 2 free domains except you have to route the domain to the ip.
EX) static ip is 102.44.52.515 now you get a domain such as .tk and reroute it to that ip then you have www.yoursite.tk except you can have it two times... to get a .tk go to www.dot.tk

domain parking is pretty much like parking you domain.. lol kinda self-explanatory
