My stepdad is starting a website which, in time, will have archives of news stories, podcasts, videos, pictures, etc.

He's asked me to look some up, but I don't know much about webhosting. I found some that give 2GB of server space and unlimited bandwith, stuff like that ... but, I'm still at a loss as to which is better, which has more value, etc. I know nothing about this stuff.

What is a good webhosting solution?
