Shared Hosting, well known company w free domain, free whois privacy, free SSL?
I am looking for a hosting company that has a good reputation, that most people have heard of, no fly-by-night. And would also like free domain if possible with annual signup, free SSL (let's encrypt is fine), and free whois protection for the free domain. Is there such a hosting provider?
Thank you very much for any help.

One thing to keep in mind is that 'free domains' are not 'free' - you're paying for it, just not in a clear and concise way.
Same with WHOIS. There aren't many registrars these days that offer it for free so in one way or another you're paying for it even if it isn't shown as a line-item on your invoice.
That said - even at $20/year for a domain with WHOIS protection you're talking about $1.67/mo - it's not exactly a large sum of money - and you can get domains cheaper than that .
Furthermore - any provider offering a "free" domain - ask them what happens to the domain should you cancel the service, who owns the domain, and what you have to pay for the domain if you do cancel - assuming they give you that option.

You have mentioned just all addon services. How much storage and bandwidth do you need? Will you host any CMS? Will it be a blog or business site?

I think that you should split your hosting and domain name between 2 providers. Use a website like domcomp to find the cheapest domain name, and then check the offers section for a web hosting provider. You can use Lets Encrypt or Cloudflare for SSL.

Just purchase your own Domain. Too many issues can arise when you "think" you're getting a "free" domain.
