By far, I'd separate out DNS. DNS Made Easy, in my opinion is just as
it's name says. It is also exceptionally scalable and offers many
services for free with DNS hosting. While it is ~$30/year for 10 domains
(I think) the reliability and usefulness far exceeds the cost.

Hmmm... Google Apps, plus Mail rules does all that, easily. Google Sites
will host what ever name you want... Though perhaps the SSL support
might have to be via the "google name" for it.

Eeeps. Don't think that'll do it.

What is wrong with GMail?
