I have done both several times with GoDaddy, but I am so sick of their TINY sizes for the money, lately.
Should I register domain with them (I have a discount available), and then point DNS to Bluehost, or whomever?
Tell me, girls and guys…who’s got the sweetest hosting packages for under monthly?
We need decent bandwidth, but nothing major.

I prefer to register my domain names with NameCheap.com, use the coupon code "INTERFACE" for a discount.
I do my hosting with Hostgator. I don’t know of any coupons right now, but I will try to post them on my site if I find some.
Hope that helps,
Eric
Personally, I never use GoDaddy for hosting (they are my preferred registrar, though), but they are good if you are a novice.
There are huge numbers of hosts out there. Go to a hosting comparison site, and go through the top ten or so. You’re bound to find a package you like.
I’m a bit concerned, though. Are you getting a separate hosting package for every site? I have 20 or so sites, and they are all on one hosting package. This works out a lot cheaper.
As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.
They are a Multi-awarded Web Hosting which offer a Full-featured service only $6.95. You can see their Plan Details accompanied with reliable reviews regarding their service at:

I would recommend you use Network Solutions. I have had two website with them in the past. For the first they only provided my space, and in my second (and current) website they provided both my space and domain name. Excellent service. Good prices. AWESOME support. Every time I needed help with something, their support reps were right there. I have recommended them to plenty of other people, and I am recommending them to you.
