I have been toying with the idea of creating a personal website for some time. Does anyone here have recommendations for a good hosting provider (preferably first hand experience)?
You can also write back with negatives

I will cross them off the list...
I am looking for the following:
- ~5GB of space
- 500 GB data xfer per month
- blog enabled
- FTP access
- ability to password protect sections of the site.
- free domain would be nice
TIA,
Mani
