Registration and hosting services

[Andrew]

A friend of mine wants to set up a small website for his
home-based business and needs registration and hosting services.
I looked through last January's thread on this list about
registrars and saw that gandi.net, domainsdoneright.com,
domaindiscover.com, and mydomain.com all received nods from
various people, with gandi.net's being the most enthusiastic. Has
anybody's opinion changed since then?

Does anybody have any suggestions for hosting services? (The site
will be small, static, and fairly low-traffic.)
