Can someone recommend me a company that will support iPhone 3G that will host my domain and offer hosted exchange?

Ideally, I am looking for a free alternative...but if none exist, then perhaps one that won't 'break-the-bank'...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

If you are set on using MS Exchange and want your domain hosted, it will obviously be a Windows host which will likely not provide you access to non-Windows programming languages if you wish to host a website on your domain. Is that a setback?

If you aren't set against a non Exchange solution, is push email a requirement? Are you looking to run a server yourself if it were free?

I use 1and1.com's hosted exchange. It doesn't sync calendars with iCal or contacts with Address Book (it uses its own calendar/contact syncing), but push works flawlessly and I was using Entourage anyway (and Outlook on my PC).

Has this thread been clean up ?

I could swear there was some strange spam in here that I commented on...

Anyways, I don't have anything to add as far as "free services" are concerned.
I have not heard that there are any that would have the full feature set up MobileMe and run cheaper than that.

You're correct. It was spam from a spammy IP range. I deleted it and your reply (since it included a link to the site and would have looked out of context with the spammer's post gone). I don't mod the forum, but spam is fair game all over.
