Thats a windmill palm. If you want a palm in cold places outside all year long, this it the one to look for. Theya re cold tolerant to 15F without damage and can handle down to 5F with damage. Once established most come back from brief temps arounf 0F. They arent a fan of too much heat and humidity and look much more tropical in shade (but if you are short on room, grow it in full sun because the leaves will not spread out as much). Because they dont take up much space they also make good indoor palms especially for people with high celings.
As for palms inside I like the parlor palm alot. Mine gets no direct sun and still makes seed every year. They stay small and eventually get a nice trunk on it.
Also butterfly palms make great indoor palms and lady palms are one of my favorates (but you will probably have to spend over 400 dollars to get one because they grow SO SLOW!!!!)
Good luck!
