Would appreciate any hosting siggestions anyone might have. I'm not looking to spend a great deal as IncognitoX doesn't generate all that much traffic. However a decent amount a bandwidth transfer would be nice as I want to post images. I signed up a 5gigs.com and for that matter also applied at 4gigs.com but I really think I would like to just pay for the hosting instead of using one of the free ones. More freedom that way I figure.I want to host www.incognitox.com there plus I plan to also host a subdomain (Something on the order of TVK Tech Solutions tvktechsolutions.com) although that name is not set in stone. It's just going to be a couple page basically static website for a local residential computer support deal I'm throwing together here in my community. You know, help PC dummies fix thier computers, setup wireless networks, virus cleaning etc. Typical stuff. Anyway, hopefully in the low range area ($5.00 a month sort of thing?) Anything out there like that? I'm looking on my own and have found a couple of things but want the most for my measly 5 bucks as I can get  Thanx in advance
Dev (IncognitoX will live again. Maybe in the form of a Postnuke site, maybe just a Frontpage deal. How knows at this point. Something will happen though with your help) --------------------

I use http://www.lunarpages.com/ , the package I get from them runs me 7.95 a month and with that I get- 800 megs of space
- 40 gigs of transfer monthly
- php, asp, jsp, and perl support What I really like is the monthly transfer, it's pretty high for how much I pay a month. The only knock is that maybe 800 megs isn't enough of storage but it's enough for me. At my last place I had unlimited and I never really went over 400 megs. Lunarpages has had great uptime and they have a good support so if you have any questions you can just zip them an email. Reccomended! edit - also, it has a really nice control panel to show you web stats, automatic app installer (message boards, phpnuke-type portals, shopping carts, etc) Heres my plan - http://www.lunarpages.com/plan1.htm and you can actually do a demo of the control panel right here http://www.lunarpages.com/demo/frontend/x/index.html [ 08-26-2004: Message edited by: mynameisxanthan ]

Heh, well, the extra charges were from our old host, I don't know what our new one does.Granted, the overage really only happened once, and it was thanks to the original 14 page Ain't She Fine thread in our photography section. It STARTED with a picture of a Geforce 4. . . it ended up looking like a sports illustrated swimsuit catalogue. -------------------- “I have noticed even people who claim everything is predestined, and that we can do nothing to change it, look before they cross the road.” “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.” --Dr. Stephen Hawking.
