The hosting package I use is actually sold by a mate's company. It's £6 a year for 10GB of advert free space (which I use as webspace and a personal back-up server). It's based on Apache 2.2 on a Suse backbone in a German co-lo, and has had 100% uptime to date. Data transfer is unlimited, down a gigabit pipe (i.e. your site will load as fast as a user's connection will allow, with no restrictions on data transfer each month).
As for creating the site itself, there are loads of tools out there - many of which were mentioned above. Personally, I'd get myself a Linux live CD (I highly recommend Fedora 8!) and use Nvu/Kompozer or Amaya. Basic, easy, and 100% free.
Glad to see I'm not the only *nix user btw (more of a Gedit fan myself tho  however I do use nano at CLI level).
