is it a pay "porn" (I know you said semi-nudity but couldn't think of any other way to put it) site? because that would limit the options.

Otherwise hosts usually state in the TOS they won't host adult content but most times they mean paid porn sites with it because of abuse/strain on the servers. I don't have a clue what your site is about but as long as it's still decent and not primarily sexually oriented you can always mail their sales and ask them. Just tell them what your site is about and give an estimation of what the pictures are like (lingerie catalog style, erotic imagery etc).

I considered www.lunarpages.com at one time and I remember they allow "adult" content if you check with them first but it's a 20Gb package and can't find on their site what they accept as payment so not sure if that's a possible choice for you.

For a domain I'd suggest getting one from a registar yourself and not through the host you're signing up with. It'll always come out cheaper.
