Looking for a low-cost host for a small site

ritz · Post #1 (**permalink**) 02-20-2006, 02:11 PM

We are looking for a hosting plan with low price and good services. We are a small site, so don't need much resources (no forums, no need for database, etc). We are looking for a host that offers their plans in proportion to its cost and provides what they sell - not one that oversells.

Would appreciate suggestions. Thanks.

I would like to highlight that the member is looking for suggestions. NO advertising is allowed, publicly or through any mean: PM, Email, etc. Users who become aware of such soliciting behavior, should report the violator to moderators of this forum.

ritz, if you are interested in receiving custom offers from web hosting companies that are members at HostingDiscussion.com, in addition to suggestions, you can post your requirements in our Web Hosting Requests forum. Keep in mind that it would help if you can state actual limitations on what you are looking for. For example, from your post, I can only guess that you are looking for: 100 MB space, up to 5 GB traffic, $3-5/month.

Best,

Thank you, and no, I don't want offers from hosting companies right now. What I'm asking for is suggestions from customers who have experience (but are not connected) with the companies they suggest.

Your guess is right on: 50-100 MB space, up to 5 GB traffic, up to $5/month.

Above all, we want good service (uptime, speed, and especially customer service).

Thanks.

We rely on your further cooperation.

I heard that Lunar Pages has good service but their pricing might be high.
For low cost hosting I recommend you www.agorahosting.com
