    I have been down for a couple months looking for a good place to create my site. What I want to do is a simple fun page with jokes, polls, forum games and things such as that.
    I want to use Joomla as the lead in page, wordpress for my polls and mybb for the forum as well as a paid for AVarcade script.

    I cannot find a budget host that will provide me with cpanel and fair bandwidth, recycle monthly payment( not 1-5 years in advance ) and a tech support that stands by it's users.

    In the last year I have lost $100.00 dollars in bogus companies. I am at wits end because all I want to do is have fun. Can anyone suggest to me a real company that has been in business for at least a year or more?
    Thank you for listening :)

    Hello there,

    You have stated that you cannot find a host with fair bandwidth, can you give me an estimate as to what you are looking for?

    I can offer you unlimited hosting plan starting at $8.95/month. As resources are used, I will upgrade our server. We currently operate on a VPS server and soon to be upgrading to a full dedicated server. Check out my signature for more information.

    Hi I have been using .best-value-hosting co.uk for a while with no problems. The support is quick to respond and they are giving free trials to new clients right now.

    I am currently in the process of switching to reseller though, just because they don't offer it and I have more domains which makes it cheaper for me. I would really recommend them though.

    Bandwidth is definately important. Look for a host with a good deal. Try BlueHost.
