What sort of hosting are we talking about? Do you need a lot of storage, a lot of bandwidth, or both? And in terms of email what do you need? Do you need full access to pop/smtp/imap servers, or just somewhere to log in and check your accounts?

Without knowing the exact application it's hard to give specific hosts, but what I usually recommend for small operations is to talk to people in the techie scene in your area. You can usually find a grass roots operation, where a guy leases a pipe, sets up a server and starts charging. Generally it's pretty cheap and since it's usually some techie who's looking for a few extra bucks on the side, good tech support is part of the deal.
