The plan I was looking at was Shared3, US$5.95, 4Gb disk space 70Gb bandwidth/month.
What more would I get for the increased cost of some of the responses?
Genuinely interested... as much because I don't want to sign up to an inexpensive hosting solution which turns out to be ****ty!

Do you need to have the guarantee that your host will never change your service plan fee unless you choose to upgrade or downgrade? According to the Terms of Service, Cabasca reserves the right to increase your service plan fees.

(b) Fee Increases. Cabasca may increase its fees for services effective the first day of a Renewal Term by giving notice to Customer of the new fees at least twenty (20) days prior to the beginning of the Renewal Term, and if Customer does not give a notice of non-renewal as provided in Section 2 above, the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the new fee for that Renewal Term and any subsequent Renewal Terms (unless the fees are increased in the same manner for a subsequent Renewal Term).
