What is the best family history site?

I don't care if I have to pay for it. My grandparents died when I was very little or before I was born and my parents just never cared to ask about there past, where the family is from etc. I lucked out because we have some very long and odd names in the family but nothing on record about them. What site is best for finding information?

    I like ancestry.com. It's reasonably-priced, very easy to use, and I've had a great time researching my family's history using it.

    The site Ancestry.com is an excellent choice for getting information about your ancestors. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) is another major source on ancestors in the U.S.

    Ancestry.com. There's a highly functional free version as well as a fully functional paid version.

    FamilySearch.org. Its free, has both a family tree and fan chart view, and has a very good, built-in search function.
