You can either go for one of the shared hosting providers, which means you're relying on them having a nicely optimized platform, which seems more and more rare these days. Or you could go the IaaS route, given you just need a mail server you could get a couple of VMs, something like;
1. 1CPU, 2GB RAM, 50GB SSD - Linux OS, install Zimbra for a good open-source email server
2. 1CPU, 2GB RAM, 50GB SSD - Linux OS with LAMP stack on top, direct website hosting
You could even combine these two, but generally better to segregate services.
This would give you a lot more control over the performance of your services, if you're not confident with website development you can always install WordPress and take it from there. Obviously this route has more overheads and involves server maintenance, so swings and roundabouts.

Hi
As you said you will be having a relatively static website so you can start with any of the host you mentioned, if you find pricing of stablehost promising you can go with them.
For the web application you should go with wordpress as it free, robust and has lot of resources and tutorials available for it.
For email, you can start with the email by setting up one for you in cpanel, its fairly simple yet efficient.

Hey I am sort of in the same boat.
Although, I have been building wordpress websites since 2012
I have just always used the commercial web hostings such as godaddy and host gator.
I was looking to see professionals and gurus could advise me an alternative.
I usually buy the GoDaddy Shared Hosting Plan and go with the biggest package.
What would be a good alternative guys ?
I was recommended Stable Host when I inquired a year ago and then I got really busy with other things.
Is Stable Host still the best alternative to try out ?
Is there any Discount on Stable Host ?

A2 Hosting seems like something I can also try.
Do you guys have any discounts ?
Also its nice to get a domain with the hosting that way I do not have to buy the domain at namecheap or somewhere else and connect it and it is nice to have both domain and hosting at once place which I usually do with go daddy because you get a free domain when you buy hosting.
But I would not say it is too much of an hassle to have hosting and domain at separate companies.
It helps because I develop too many websites and I keep them all on different hosts and less passwords to remember

Okay thanks for the advice.
I was just looking the websites and for StableHost there is only email support ?
I am thinking if there is a situation where my website is down and then I will not even be able to live chat.
I can't imagine just writing an email to someone if a high traffic site of mine goes down.
My sites are usually high traffic but I use shared hosting because I mostly just use Text and rarely any videos and very few photos (about 100 -150) small photos.
