Hi friends,
I need your advice on deciding the hosing company for my
website,i searched Google for hosting services but found
too many to decide which one to choose.So i need your advice
in deciding hosting service.
My website has about 20 pages, I need about 50MB space
but it should have all the capabilities like good
bandwidth,uptime of 99% ,cgi forms handling ,custom 404 page
some 4-5 email accounts with spam protection,and some database
support to collect user information.

Secondly can u tell me how can i write my own cgi script for form
handling.
Please kindly keep budget around $60/year
Your suggestions will be greatly welcomed
Regards

I would recommend Web-Mania (www.Web-Mania.com) Great host... More info http://web-mania.com/cgi-bin/hostshop1.cgi

Only £20/Year (Around $37)

Also if you want to handle your forms e.g Store them in a database or mail them you.... It would be easier using PHP
If you need any hep just ask

Hope this helps

It's a lot easier to copy someone else's CGI script than to write your own. A really great Web site I have found is scripts.com. There are thousands of scripts and most are free.

On a side note, CGI is kinda a thing of the past. I have found that PHP is much easier to work with and doesn't require a CGI-BIN to run scripts. You can also find PHP scripts on scripts.com.

About Web hosting - my company provides two really good packages. One is $5 a month and that will give you 100 MB of space and 1 gig of transfer. I also offer special custom rates if you ask.

You can see my site at www.gripinteractive.com

Good luck with everything.

Hello,
I advise you to try www.freewebtown.com

In my mind I have no doubt that http://www.ournethost.com would be able to work with your hosting needs. Its a great company to work with too! (unlike some others) So yeah, thats my choice.

My host is netrillium They ae great!

IllusionFXNet.Com - My host. Free. Competes in quality with many paid hosts. We have domain and subdomain hosting. You just have to submit an application and get approved (that's the hard part, getting approved).

http://www.gisol.com is unbelievable. Check out their plans....

I use Web-Mania and its been very satisfactory.

The only thing I find lacking is getting raw access log but this is unlikely to bother most people.

i am getting a new server for my company do when it is up. i will offer 500mb of space + php+ unlimited everything and it only costs 2.99 a month monthly and 1.99 a month yearly so for you itd cost 23.88 for th whole year.
+ 6 gigs bandiwdth + free cpanel

There are many good hosts out there and finding one can be overwhelming. Asking for reccomendations like you are doing here is a good start. Always make sure that the host has a money back guarantee so you don't get stuck with crap hosting. If they have a good product theres no reason why they wouldn't offer it to you.

Check out http://www.mixcat.com/hosting/, they offer some good deals.
