Professional Web hosting

Looking for a professional web hosting company, but since i am a layman so i am lost in the wild wild west of billions of hosts.
Currently we dont have no website and emails are received at mailbox provided by some local but very reputable ISP. but for some time i am facing issues besides, internet presence is very necessary now a days.
Here are my needs:
A .com domain
Free would be great but i dont mind making my company pay for it
Basic website for our company (will get it designed locally-Pakistan)
It will be a simple About us, Prods, Contact kinda website. Maybe 20 pages at most) No videos, music (maybe some ultra-light animations)
Email accounts
This is the most essential thing. About 10 accounts initially shud do for 2 years at least i guess. For each i need at least of 1GB quota (some of us go for biz trips n vacations, i hate mails bouncing back due to limit exceeding). Email traffic is about 100 mails (incoming+outgoing) every day for at least 4 of us.
Sub-domain for web access of email accounts.
So one can access even if is traveling
Sub-domain for database
I am thinking to have an custom Address book (developed by someone) for access by employees only. It will be like name/company/designation/add/phone/fax/ext/mobile etc kinda database. I guess in total we got 500-1000 contacts Currently we dont have any such app in use within company.
Most Important Notes:
– Emails are back bone of our business. We are always communicating via emails. Troubles with mail server has pushed me to get myself into all this.
– I need 24/7 excellent support (we dont have any techies, i’ll be handling all)
– I hate when some one says we sent u an email and i never receive it neither it bounces back to recipient.
– I hate if mail server is down or facing issues (i couldn’t stress any further on how imp are mails for us!!)
– for me perhaps godaddy kinda hosts are for personal websites. or maybe when u’re looking for just hosting a simple website of a company which doesnt primarily depends on emails!
– Linux/Unix/Win/VPS/Shared/Dedicated I dont speak that kinda language
Please assist me

I would recommend 1&1 too, I have had an account there for a long time.
E-mails are no problems to set up and reliable. You can use Outlook Web access / Exchange server.
