You need storage space and bandwidth (these are always listed by the hosting service). I found that LunarPages was pretty generous on both for the $7.95/month price. I found a few sites with hosting a little cheaper ($5.95 a month or so), but with less bandwidth and/or storage space or (in one case) really bad customer service.
The other thing that will make your life easier is the Fantastico suite for auto-installing (and auto-uninstalling) software. If you’re looking at other hosting services, find one that has that.
Incidentally, I learned that the specific coupon deal that I mentioned is, unfortunately, no longer available for a 12-month contract with LunarPages. The $28-off coupon now applies only to 24-month contracts. So you have a choice of a 12-month contract at no discount (total cost about $96) or a 24-month contract with the discount ($138.80). The 24-month contract is a better deal, but more upfront expense.
Sorry it turned out to be more expensive.
