If you sign up for an account at 
http://domains.2rosenthals.com, our pricing is pretty 
good. We resell for Wild West (who owns - or is owned by - 
GoDaddy these days).

Depends upon what you need to do and for how many sites. 
Also, you can run servers behind dynamic addresses. The 
problem is that many mail servers reject mail coming from 
dynamic hosts, so you'll not only need a dynamic DNS 
provider (such as dyndns.com) but you'll also probably 
want a smarthost to relay your outgoing mail for you 
(dyndns.com offers this service, as do I). I can also host 
mail/web/ftp for you, including MySQL and PHP.

These prices are extremely low. Again, if all you need is 
basic hosting, then something like this might be the best 
way to go...
