Where should i host my board? I know someone who does it at $30/yr

[sparta]

I have just got a new Vb board and it is going to have a resonable amount of site traffic. So i will need good uptime and transfer rate. However i don't have a large budget after just buying this board.

I have found a web host who do the below package for just $29 per year does anybody know of a better deal?
Does anybody know anything about them they are at http://www.hosttoday.co.uk

PHP4 Scripting
mySQL Database
20 Autoresponders
20 POP3 Mailboxes
Server Side Includes
Unlimited FTP Access
50MB UNIX Disk Space
Customised Error Page
Commercial Web Space
Web Based Control Panel
Search Engine Submission*
Real-time Web Site Statistics
1000MB Monthly Data Transfer

1 gig of transfer is really lousy. If your site is busy, you'll exceed that in no time.

For another £10 i can get the following:

WAP Support
PHP4 Scripting
mySQL Database
50 Autoresponders
50 POP3 Mailboxes
Server Side Includes
Unlimited FTP Access
Customised Error Page
Commercial Web Space
100MB UNIX Disk Space
Web Based Control Panel
Search Engine Submission*
Real-time Web Site Statistics
2000MB Monthly Data Transfer
Password Protected Directorys
CGI Scripting in Perl, C & Python
Microsoft® FrontPage® 2000 Server Extensions

And if i use £12.50 or $19 monthly i can get the following but that would be pushing my present budget but i am only 14.

WAP Support
PHP4 Scripting
mySQL Database
200 Autoresponders
200 POP3 Mailboxes
Server Side Includes
Unlimited FTP Access

Real-time Web Site Statistics
5,000MB Monthly Data Transfer

You might want to check them out. PING them, tracert them or etc.

Sparta,

The above plan that i mention is similar to what you will get for 12.50 pounds.

I did a ping & tracert & i must says it is THE BEST I have seen from Singapore to a overseas host. 8 hops & PING about 230ms. It seems that they are off donhost.co.uk. Have you heard of them? It seems that you are in UK as well.

Yeah i have heard of them they are quite a big hosting company in the UK. If they resell or not it is still a good package but maybe not as good as that one you showed me however most people are reselling of someone in the end.

It is the way of things.
