Vanguard has a whole lot of them, they are very cheap, but Vanguard is also one of the most respectable companies out there. You might find slightly cheaper, but I doubt you will find cheaper and a better partner.
Another thing to consider is EFT's they are generally indexed funds that trade like stocks. Vanguard has some, but there is also iShares.com and Powershares.com that are well worth researching.
Good Luck

Fidelity Spartan funds! Expense ratio 0.1%. I have yet to see a lower cost fund (except for maybe ETFs, where you have to pay a commission every time you buy shares).
Fidelity is also an established, respectable company. In fact, I think they're the biggest mutual fund company.

ETFs are generally cheap, especially since you don't have to pay internal taxes (lost income you won't see) when others in the mutual fund sell.
