Web Hosting and Domain Registering

[NightPort]

Ok, I have just taken over a webdeveloping project for some of my friends who are starting an online magazine. Anyway, the person that was originally doing this for some reason has the domain registered at a place that doesn't host the site but points to a host. I don't like this idea at all. I was wondering if anyone would have any suggestions on where I can transfer the registered site to a place that will both keep the site registration and host the website we are building. Something reliable and not overly expensive. I understand there are multiple (usually 3) choices of types you can do. At first I need something small to get it up and running, but I will ultimately need to bring it up in size. So upgrading our "status" when we need would also be helpful. Thanks in advance for any suggestions you provide.

1. I don't see a problem with having the domain registrar different from the host, but...

2. The absolute best, bar none... www.lunarpages.com
I have two webs hosted there, and I love their service.
800MB, unlimited emails, DB, FP, etc., for less than $100/year.

Well I guess it isn't really a problem having the two seperated. But I would prefer to have them together. In my mind and for the limited time I have to work with the site right now. So having them together is the prefered meathod to me. Also I have been getting jerked around by the two I do have right now so I don't have the best of opinions on the seperation. Anyway I will look at lunarpages and see what I can find. Any other suggestions from others are certainly welcome. Thanks again in advance.

Well, just for the record, www.ev1servers.net is the cheapest to buy domain names. I've never had a problem with them either.
