Basically I have a web site that has already been designed offline and I was wondering what would be the best hosting service for a low-traffic site. A.k.a. something cheap that would let me ftp web pages into it.
Web hosting advice?

I use www.inmotionhosting.com
No complaints here. (Not extremely cheap though)

+1 for lowendbox, you can get good deals there if you want web hosting + extras.
If you're sure you just want that site hosted and nothing else, I'd also recommend Lithium Hosting, their $10/year deal is nice for small sites

Use wordpress if you can flip it into PHP. All you would have to do is buy a domain name is I think the wordpress goes away. If anything just make a wordpress website is free, but will have wpordpress in the URL

you could try to forward and mask the link with your own domain but that's unprofessional because its only like 4 lines of code to stop it and it's also illegal according to their terms of service (#9 here: http://en.wordpress.com/tos/)
<script type="text/javascript">
var domain = "example.com";
var redirect = "http://example.com/page.html";
if( (location.hostname != domain) &&
(location.hostname != "www."+domain)
) { location.href = redirect; }
</script>it's like 2 bucks a month for the lowest cost can you really not ask your parents, if you really want to develop your website under a website name you can reserve a domain and then forward mask it to your public IP and then set up a program called XAMPP (http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html also may be other alternatives). After setting up xampp forward port 80 and easy. But if you can buy a domain it doesn't really make sense to jump through hoops and expose your router to avoid buying a host though.

people say nice things about linode, my company has shared hosting which is relatively inexpensive: http://www.liquidweb.com/web-hosting/
