Probably not, as it requires domain registration at 25USD! This is ridiculously expensive, considering domains go for about 7 dollars a year at any reputable domain registrar (I use domainsite.com). They're making their money on domains, I wouldn't go through them, cuz when it comes time to renew you're getting screwed.

I'd go with spidahost, they cost money too, but for a years hosting you pay about the same but you get a quality host

I've heard many good things about hostmonster.com.. Fairly cheap webhosting that is very reliable and supports many of the things you would need/want on a website. And all of them are included with all of their plans. I plan to host with them after my hosting with dreamhost expires. They are unreliable to the point of me losing money.

http://byethost.com is pretty good. Combined with a TK domain you can have a cheap skate website set up in minutes!

Yahoos hosting is pretty good, for the cheapest($9 per month) you get 5gb disk space, 200gb data transfer, free .com domain(full) ,200 emails, some backup and support for advanced things like php, html etc. Plus you can add on stuff at any time(more disk space and more transfer) and upgrade.

Your about to get pwned.

@fxgamer- host monster has 300GB of storage and 3,000GB of bandwidth and free domain, unlimited email, POP3/secure POP3 email unlimited, IMAP/secure IMAP unlimited, unlimited FTP accounts, anonymous FTP, shell access, multiple complete back-ups, fast-cgi support, perl 5, Ruby-on-Rails, and more. and the most expensive plan is $7.95 a month for 3 months with a $30 setup fee, and you can transfer a domain bought somewhere else or buy one there for $10 (which may by about a dollar overpriced, but its still cheap in the long run). The cheapest is $5.95 a month for two years. Is yahoo still good?

P.S.: HTML (and Javascript) are run in your browser, not on the server. All the web-host has to support is the file-name. Many people make that mistake.

One.com is quite good for their price. Most sites don't need much space and the traffic is free (as long as it's not too much). They have great 24/7 (less in non English languages) chat support as well as good email support.

[url=www.aplus.net]www.aplus.net[/url] is what I use for MISoft's website. They've got low-cost packages starting at $5.95, 24/7 365 professional customer support via online chat, phone, and email (they help with the dumbest as well as the most complicated tech questions), no downtime, automated search engine submission, and enough free development tools to smother a family of six. Not to mention easy to use uploading tools, really good email service, unlimited subdomains, all that fun stuff. Oh, and did I mention the two FREE domain names? Yep, two free domain names for a year. And you can pay monthly or yearly, which a lot of hosting companies don't allow these days. All in all a really fantastic service, I haven't seen a hosting service better yet and I strongly recommend them.
