In the past I wouldn't have recommended using the "free domain name with hosting" options as I've had problems transferring domain names away from such things later when I wanted to change the hosting. But I don't know if that's still an issue these days, I just like "separation of concerns" and would keep the domain registration and the hosting separate.

Depending on what the site is for, I'd also suggest getting a starter level package from Wordpress.com.

Crocweb is another hosting provider I've used and have had good experience with.
I've had the same experience. Those 'free domain' offers are nice, but many are only for one year. Even if they offer a lifetime free domain, it's only for as long as you stay with that provider. And transferring domains away from such providers is a real pain.

I've had great experience with namespro.ca. Their support is great, and their control panel offers a lot of flexibility if you want to add custom DNS records and such.
