I did everything through Yahoo. I had a geocities site for years and I really got comfortable with their customer service and the "idiot proof" web site builder. I just graduated to a domain and now I pay $11 a month and I get an even better "idiot proof" web site builder
They also support Frontpage, a program that has me flabbergasted.
I am glad I read this, I never knew there were so many options out there.
