Looking for a new webhost

With the discovery of the wonderful tool known as ComicCMS, I know what I want to do with SKcomics.net. It's going to become a multi-webcomic hosting site. Me and two friends of mine are going to host our comic works on the site, dividing it into subdomains. I do think I'll be doing this for more than them in the future, though I do believe I may charge a little something for it...
I'm also going to use it for just general purposes on the side, uploading random shit and stuff.

Anyway, aknowledging any and all of the suckiness of Geocities Pro, can I see some better hosts?
Needs to have:
1. Subdomain and email support. I've got 5 subdomains and 3 email addresses. Hopefully the new package supports more than the Geocities Pro maximum.
2. PHP and perhaps SQL support(though I doubt any of you would suggest a host that didn't support those things, and iStrip doesn't even need SQL)
3. Generally better than or equal to the http://geocities.yahoo.com/ps/learn/HowItWorks4_Pro.html without costing much more.
4. Easy or at least mostly easy to follow interface. I'm not a command-line person.

If your anwser to RV is 'yes'.. there's plenty of hosts out there. You just need to learn/know how to use a FTP, it's really simple.

Etc, etc..

If your answer to RV is 'no'... then you're totally wasting your time.

That's just a universal fact of life.

The sole exceptions to this rule being people bigger* than RV or women.

*meaning 'could beat the crap out of RV' not 'looks like a balloon from eating McDonalds every single day of his life'.
