What is good web host/registar for a social network?
You'll want a host with a lot of bandwidth and disk space.





I'd suggest SLHost, I've been using them for years for some community-based sites with the shared Level 2 package. Check out the shared packages here: http://slhost.com/shared_solutions.html





Once you start getting a lot of traffic on your site and over-running your bandwidth you can just buy more from them or upgrade your package. It's pretty painless and cheap.





As far as a registar, use whatever is cheapest. GoDaddy.com with code SLASH will save you 10%, code SLASH3 will get you a .com domain for $6.95.
