I have a couple of questions regarding web design. First of all, I'm looking into getting my own domain and web-hosting service. Does anyone have a company to suggest? My only real qualification is that it has to have no outside ads and must be able to hold some pretty advanced coding because I want it to contain a database that has filters among other basic links/pages.

Secondly, I have some friends who have offered to set me up with a web page, but they have yet to really help me. So, are there some trusted companies/individuals that do good work with web design and database creation?
