Recommend me a host

[timswim78]

I'm looking for an inexpensive host that has these features:
- IMAP for email
- At least 5 email accounts
- At least 2GB of storage.


THANKS!

Any ideas?

Why would you recommend it if you're not sure if it is what he is looking for?

This is for my parents, and they want to be able to use outlook on their laptop and their desktops.

Because AT'ers are cheap asses (well at least 99.99% of them are) with unrealistic expectations.

That's why

Be wary when speaking the truth.

No imap e-mail (atleast from what I read on the site), which is his first requirement.

It's not advertised, as it's rarely used, but all cPanel accounts (no matter the provider) support IMAP.

Dreamhost offers much more than that and is pretty cheap at less than $8/month.

FYI, if you sign up through that link I get some sort of reward. If you feel I am biased, feel free to not sign up through the link. I have been very satisfied with DH's service.

Careful w/ that link Rayden.... the law don't like dem referals round these parts....

DH is cool until you have to renew, then it's expensive. Telnap is consistent and offers everything he needs.

I feel I was fair in publicly announcing that using that link would be a referral. Even if I don't get the referral I recommend DH. In my opinion, the problem with referrals is when people aren't away they are being referred. I don't think anyone was confused. If it is unacceptable to have any sort of referral, I will remove it.
