I'm looking for a good host for an artist's website (which means i'll be working with large images) and I need a host that meets the following:

-reasonable price
-100+ mb
-Reasonable bandwidth
-No ads
-Reliable cheap/free domain hosting
-FTP upload
-Reliable uptime
-Good speed

I'd also like some kind of email aliasing or redirection, but i don't need it. i was considering crosswinds' premium service, but after seeing their rankings, i dont know...

For 5.95/month Dominet can hook you up with 200mb space and 4GB bandwidth.

Well, www.9cy.net does offer that for $35 a year, but at the moment, it's not accepting new signups (will be back in less than a month). If it's not urgent, I would go with them. I'm a customer (2 accounts), and I'm overall impressed. :D

If 2.5 GB of transfer is good enough for you, you can also go with www.myacen.com

Fluid Hosting (www.fluidhosting.com) is still currently running a special that you may not want to miss. Please take a look at this thread: http://freewebspace.net/forums/showthread.php?threadid=29509

About our servers:
All of our web servers are Dual P3/1Ghz (2000Mhz of total power) with 2-4 GB of ECC memory and SCSI3 U160 10000 rpm drives. We also have a dedicated MySQL/PgSQL server on a Dual P3/866Mhz (1732 Mhz of total power) with 2GB of ECC memory and RAID1 protected drives. Alongside with our web/sql servers, we also have a separate server to handle control panel/DNS/Mail on a P3/800Mhz (dual capable) with 1GB of memory and RAID1 protected drives.

About our connectivity:
We have our own rack inside a carrier grade data center (http://fluidhosting.com/facilities.php) with direct connectivity to nine major tier one backbones: UUNet, ATT, Sprint, Verio, Global Crossings, BBN/Genuity, Cables and Wireless, Qwest, and Digex in full BGP4 configuration. Through our HSRP (Hot Standy Router Protocol), we can offer you at least 99.9% uptime, guaranteed on our SLA (fluidhosting.com/sla.php). Your connectivity is fully burstable to 100 Mbps. It's a really fast network, you can download ftp://ftp.uu.net/uumap.tar.Z (an 8 MB file size) at a rate of 3-4 Megabytes per second!

About our support:
Alongside with our great servers/network, we too are commited to providing the best support. You can reach us through ICQ/MSN as well as helpdesk/email. We usually respond to your support inquiries within 3-6 hours and sometimes even faster.

Conclusion:
We are providing one of the best hosting environment for your needs. And during this July 4th promition, you can get all of these top notch servers/network/support just a fraction of our ordinary price. I do hope one of our plans will suit your needs!
