You need to give more details for a good answer.

-> Do you need to have dynamic pages and if so, what languages do you prefer to write it in?

-> Is it OK to have some banners on every page (like GeoCities)?

-> Do you need to think about local hosting for legal reasons

-> Do you need to think about local hosting to be found in the local Google (like www.google.co.uk or www.google.de) as a page from a specific country.

-> How critical is down time?

-> Do you think you want to change later to a dedicated server?

Things to think of when you are choosing webhost.
Choosing the right webhost its not easy, you have to think of what are your needs for the site, are you going to use Mysql, PHP? If so how many db¨s do have access to. What stats do i need, do i get acces to the raw logfile?. Can you use your own script?

If the site is big how much space do i need and how much traffic do i spent.. Is there many people working on the company that should have email adresses, so how many pop3 account are they offer.

Are they offering subdomains, do you have access to point diffrent domains to diffrent subfolders?
How about the support, can you call them or is it just mailsupport?
Can they help you pointing the domains you have today to the new webhost.
Can you put up diffrent sites on diffrent servers with diffrent ip´s?
How much does this cost?

The most important things

1. Support i want a phonenumber not just mail!
2. What stat can i have from them (raw logfile zipped on daily basis)
3. How many db´s do you got acces to
4. How much bandweight do you have and how much does it cost to buy more

Hi,

-> Do you need to have dynamic pages and if so, what languages do you prefer to write it in?

Yes, php should be enabled.Mysql is not neccesary.

-> Is it OK to have some banners on every page (like GeoCities)?

No banners or text links or popups.

-> How critical is down time?

Down time should be minimal.

-> Do you need to think about local hosting for legal reasons

No

-> Do you need to think about local hosting to be found in the local Google (like www.google.co.uk or www.google.de) as a page from a specific country.

No

-> Do you think you want to change later to a dedicated server?

No, i would like to stick with that.
