now i know every 10th entry posted here is in regards to hosting, but i would like to request that we compile a complete list of free and paid webhosts for personal and business use to commit to the community memories. that way anyone visiting the community can get the help they need without posting repeated requests for hosting suggestions, and we can constantly update it with new listings as we come across them. =) would anyone else find this helpful, or is it just me?

to start;

i'm currently looking for an affordable host for my .com domain (based in canada if possible). right now i pay $50 USD/year for 5gb of monthly transfer and 100mb of space, and i'm finding myself in need of more. i'd like to stay under $70 USD if possible since my domain is little more than a place to store images and movie files.

so far i've been eyeballing the following plans:

canaca.com (BRONZE PLAN)
domain registration - $10/year
domain transfer - $10/year
domain renewal - $20/year
hosting - $3.95/month (provided you sign up for a 24-month plan)
disk space - 10gb
bandwidth traffic - 200gb

directnic.com (BRONZE PLAN)
domain registration/transfer/renewal - $15/year
hosting - $3.95/month
disk space - 800mb
monthly transfer - 100gb

any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
