I have used www.networksolutions.com for hosting/design, and they are OK for someone without any experience. There are probably better ones that I do not know of.

Yes. The "definition" of risk free is the 3-month (US) Treasury bill, now yielding over 5%. Some would argue even that is not truly risk free.

If you don't like IB's credit interest rates (4.55% for funds over $10,000; 4.80% for funds over $100,000), you won't like the 1.125% that you can get at TradeStation for balances over $10,000. (I have accounts at both, and I find the TS credit rates a bit frustrating.)...
