Hey people, i'v got a small site and looking for a cheap simple host...

oh, i think i'v found a very resonable one on www.phurix.co.uk its £1 a month with some nice feactures and a free domain
» 24 Hour Support
» 50Mb of web space
» 250 MB of bandwidth/Month
» 2 Web users
» 2 Mysql databases
» custom FTP address
» .uk domain name (1yr)

Eh, I have Mixed Opinions for this-- In one case, I think they are good for the beginner plans for those just looking to put their personal site online. But then in another instance, If it's so cheap... what are they forfeiting in return for low prices? Support?

Cheap Hosters have a place in the industry as well as people in other industrys. Not everyone can afford high dollar web hosting. When the person is starting out it's a good idea to go with a cheap host to see if they really want to have theyre business, personal, or whatever site they plan on using

Yeh. Cheapies are good to just try out whether or not you want to actually have a website. Just try not to be roped into any yealy contracts.

If you decide you like having your site, upgrade to a better quality host.

I used to offer hosting for $9.95 a year. Basically no tech support, it's not worth the trouble. Rather charge more and do it right.

Well, depending on what you are asking for, there are many webhosting site which will supply you with a cheap-o package. Beware of Unlim. Bandwidth/Space, because that is always a scam. However, if you need modest hosting, many reputable sites will offer you decent packages. My company has a 2.95/mth service which gives the user 100mb/5gb a month, with unlim. email, DirectAdmin,MySql,PHP,the works.

So to sum it up watch out for those frauders, but dont neglect the possibility of inexpensive hosting sites.
