Best forum to discuss webhosting?

What is the best forum to post a topic like this. There's lots of them out there.



My web site's hosting is about to expire and I need new hosting. Previously I paid 10$ in a Net firms special for a year of hosting. It was great, but I can't get it again. Basically 5$ a month is too expensive for me. My ad sense is not covering much ( I made 4$ in a year, prolly from my own clicking around lol). I have my own domain name registered as well at Netfirms which is good for quite a while.

So I'm looking to find free - extremely cheap webhosting (5$-20$) a year. The site isn't big (45 megs) and bandwidth usage is next to nonexistant. Basically the site is something for me to just fool around with, and show off to a friend now and then. The site is a blog, but one in which I write all the PHP, HTML, and CSS. (Way more fun than templates.)

I see places like cookiehost.com with great (5$ a year) deals, but it just makes me wonder.

Places like blogger, are about my caliber but there is no FTP interface hosting. Is there anything like blogger, except that I can use my own domain and an ftp interface?

I need to post this question at a appropriate forum, I just don't know which.

Does anyone know a good forum, or a direct answer to me problem?

Your needs aren't that high. I think the ATOT free hosting should be fine.

It gives you:
600MB of webspace
5000MB of monthly bandwidth
25 FTP accounts
25 Email accounts
10 SQL databases
5 Sub Domains
 
Do you have experience with web hosting as to know if this is a good deal? Is this a good deal? Is the reputation good? ?
Its just something about free web hosts that scares me. I just don't know what it is. I'd rather pay something like 10$ - 20$ a year for my hosting.

Nah. It's great still. Better in the days when web hosting sites were springing up left and right like back earlier in this decade like 2000 - 2003. You really had to go dig there to see which ones survived the dotcom bust and what not.

I still found it useful, and I submit reviews.

You want a simple painfree solution? Dreamhost. With a 1 year deal (go search on your favorite deal site) you can easily run off with a $22 fee for a whole year with domain name registration as well. That's like 80% off or whatever. Plus, when I signed up I had something like 160gb of space. That's like my spare ATA drive I have sitting in my closet, and thats enough space for more than enough data that my cable modem could never allow me to upload.
