I see people are still posting to this so... Well... Simply the lesser
expensive hosting companies aren't always going to be there. Read up in the
various forums and, well, you'll see...
If there was a price guide here I could help you out a bit more and, really,
I'm not going to recommend myself or my company so I'm going to suggest - in
all honesty - that you take a look at some of the free hosting companies.
How? What? Are you insane? (Those are things you might ask.) No... Netfirms,
Yahoo, etc? They offer free hosting and no, don't get the free hosting but
rather get their paid versions. They're up ALL the time basically. Support
is "OKAY" for the most part. Feature set's fine for most. Etc...
