Website Hosting

[AndrewBird]

I'm looking into making a personal website and would like to know what you guys use for hosting? I'd want at least a gig of space for as cheap as possible. Any sugestions?

I have my own server on the DSL.

Cheap packages start at like 3 bucks for 5000 gb & 40 gb bandwidth. It's like 5bucks with Domain registration.

I've been using http://www.icdsoft.com/ for almost 5 years for my own sites and all my customers. it's inexpensive, very fast and extremely reliable. I could use more space but they don't really charge that much for extra, and they give you more bandwidth than a personal site could ever use.

I used to host my own sites in my bedroom closet 'till Comcast started blocking port 80. Now I use colo hosting from a friend, as well as DreamHost. I get 120+ gigs of bandwidth/month, unlimited mysql databases, nice user control panel, user accounts, the list goes on. Its pretty perfect. It cost me $9/year for the hosting which included a domain.


Oh, 1and1 is also pretty nice from what I've heard.

I use http://www.crystaltech.com/ as they are relatively inexpensive and have lots of features. For free hosting I have used http://www.1asphost.com/.

That's the company I admin for. We're pretty much one of the top dogs as far as hosting technology is concerned. Its a sister-company to valueweb/affinity/winsave/hostsave

1and1 is a big competitor to us. They started in europe and are breaking into the US market.

How much bandwidth do you want? and how much space?

I have a shared hosting server that I host my friends on, toss me a PM and we could work something out.
