I am looking for a good web host that offers at least 100 Mb of storage and unlimited site traffic/bandwidth. Ideally, I would like to pay less than $5.00 a month, much less if possible. It has to be reputable and reliable, however.

I currently use DotEasy for one of my sites, but they charge a hefty $8.00 a month. My site is a small one, and doesn't cover the costs. My other site on eSeeHosting charges $6.00, but I think I can still find a better and cheaper host.

Any suggestions you have, I'll greatly appreciate.

Thank you.

Eugene, I thgink that you need to do some efforts in the search. WM-T has great marketplace and there I think that you can as find the solution as comunoicate with potential web hosting provider.

you try 100mb.com I think they offer free hosting too.

mate, free and cheap web hostinmg are differnt things mostly in guarantees issues

Is $1-2 so principle for you. I think that it is better to spend time on the earning them instead of looking for the cheap solution. In the $5-$10 good wen hosting companies are: hostgator.com, aspnix.com, site5.com etc. I'm sure thet if would much more better concern then you have

Most hosts that offer unlimited bandwidth are overselling like hell, and the very, very few that aren't overselling will have very strict limits on the account such as no hefty file downloads etc.

Even if you did manage to find unlimited bandwidth or space, there's no way you'll get it for $5 let alone less.

If your site is a small one why would you need unlimited bandwidth anyway? your best bet is to look at the stats of your site, how much bandwidth it's currently using and if you expect it to grow quickly and you should have a good idea of how much traffic you'll actually need.

Remember any good host will always allow you to upgrade to a higher package or possibly just purchase more bandwidth if that's all you need.

In the long run I don't believe one and one to be that cheap, there are plenty more hosts out there that can beat them on price, that and their customer service is far from the best, they've been discussed in this thread.

hostmonster.com.

epic win. i use it, no complaints at all.

do a google of "hostmonster review" and in some of the links they have a URL to get a special promo price of $4.95 / month. can't beat that price with unlimited storage/bandwidth and all the other stuff they give you.

their tech support is magical. reply within an hour for tickets and live help always within 5 minutes.

Might I suggest http://www.thehosted.com I've been with them for years and there is no other place I would go. My dad and uncle even have their own personal website with this company.

Do you really use more than a couple of GBs of data transfer? If not, then you could check out asmallorange.com. From time to time I've read good things about them and they are a good fit for people with relatively limited needs.

try http://hostingwitch.com

I don't think the words cheap and reliable go together when talking about hosting, lol!

True.

You pay for what you get and $5 really isnt that bad at all.

I know with my own packages i belive them to be very cheap for what the user gets - Im way to generous anyway $4 is my cheapest and i have no intention to make it cheaper.

How many times will i see someone saying i only have a small site... but i want unlimited .. . Why?! You are buying into a hype, its a fact u wont use more than 500mb of bandwith and no more than 250mb diskspace.. so why are you looking for unlimited?!

grr i can rant about this all day lol.

BE sensible, i personally would trust a host which would fix me up with someone which suits my usage than just going heres unlimited.

Knock on wood, I've had very good like hosting my main forum on liquidweb for a nominal monthly fee. No problems whatsoever over the past year.

Im gonna agree with almost everyone above....

If you get cheap you wont get reliable
If you get reliable you wont get cheap

You get what you pay for in the most part just like anything else
Its not that costly to get a decent host anyway just shop around and check out the prices, they are for the most part all the same. It really depends what your looking to do with the website

u want cheap but reliable ..

Lets try this

Hostmonster
Hostgator
Fast next
ixwebhosting

I used above 4 ...Right i am with hostgator

If we are talking about the reliable hosting companies at affordable rate, I can't help mentioning MMHosting.com, Lypha.com and ServerPoint.com. They think of their clients very well offering the wide range of additional services for them that are free.

You can try "freedomain.co.nr " for cheap and best hosting.

You might want to check out oxyhosts.com; they have hosting plans from a dollar a month and up, and will take monthly, quarterly, and semi-annual payments. I use them and have good service for a low price (according to all of the cliches being thrown around in this thread, I must be imagining things).
