best of the best

Things I recommend:

Laptops

IBM Thinkpad - very solid build, great support, decent pricing

If you can afford something pricier and want to splurge, the obvious choice in the MacBook or the MacBook Pro

Domains

GoDaddy is the best. If you need something cheaper, 1and1.com works ok too

Dedicated (Unmanaged) hosting

ev1servers cannot be beat for their unmanaged solutions

DNS Hosting

Most of you won't need this, but I sleep better knowing I'm keeping my DNS and main hosting separate: dnspark.net

Business card printing

4by6.com offers an easy uploading service and GREAT quality cards - they have special deals every once in a while, so I would wait for deals to get cards
