Recommended services

Web hosting: Bluehost.com
I've been with Bluehost for a couple of years now and can't say enough good things about them. Tons of extended features, a massive allotment of disk space (currently 200GB, more than I will probably ever be able to use), great customer support and strong reliability.

Domain registration: DirectNIC.com
I believe there are cheaper domain registration services out there these days, but $15/year isn't going to break anyone's bank and these guys do their job very well.

Enterprise development: Tamgroup.com
I've worked for these guys on a contract basis for a few projects and they seem to do a really good job with extended back-end functionality (like high-volume e-commerce and other database-driven systems).

Computers: Apple, Apple, Apple!
Now that you can run Windows on every shipping Macintosh computer, there's less reason than ever not to start using the best computer and best operating system in the world. I've been a Mac zealot since college and feel very strongly that there is no more enjoyable computing experience out there.
