website techie question

Question to those of you who have a personal website that you pay money for:

What provider can you recommend?


And those of you who have a freebie website like myself (I have geocities but I'm not 100 per cent happy with it): what provider have you got? Or are you happy just to use facebook or myspace or somesuch?

Thank you! I'm trying to upgrade.

I have a Mac. I don't know if that makes a difference?
