Better hosting deal than Godaddy's Shared Deluxe Plan?

    I need to host 3 websites, maybe more in the future. I'd like at least a TB of bandwith, but it must be a real TB, not the crap offered from small companies that oversell.

    I want it to handle something like a Digg effect.

    This is what I found on Godaddy - https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/hosting/shared.asp?ci=8886

    Looks good to me - 150GB space, 1.5TB bandwidth, unlimited websites, $7/mo if paying by the month.

    I have $65 in my paypal. Is there any better hosting deal than this from a reputable company that takes paypal?

    Thanks

    I use HawkHost for my blog, forum and all sites. They guarantee 99.99% uptime and I too guarantee that.
    I suggest you to take hawkhost's Standard plan.
    It costs $51 for six months. With s20percent as coupon code you'll get 20% discount. So you'll get the standard hosting for $40/6 months.
    Check this comparison: http://www.hawkhost.com/Shared/compare
    If you're interested, I'll send my aff link!;)

    Only 60GB bandwidth. And with the $10 plan still only 240GB. Everything else looks great, just way too little bandwidth. So it won't do for me.:(

    Hostgator is way better than godaddy. Look beyond godaddy for hosting IMO.

    Hostgator has no good deals like that though. From them, the only plan that would let me host multiple websites is the $8 one, and that's if I pay for 3 years straight. I only have $65 in my paypal, so it would force me to pay monthly, which would be $10, which is too much compared to godaddy's $7/mo.

    I actually don't like godaddy at all, having managed a few sites for clients through them, so I'm all for a different company, but I just don't see one with a better deal where it's still cheap if paying monthly.

    Actually I might go with 1and1. The 1&1 Home plan is only $5/mo, free first 3 months, comes with 2 domains, supports unlimited domains, 120GB space / 1.2TB bandwidth. Looks good.

    I know people say 1and1 sucks, but I've been using them for 3-4 years now and am managing several accounts with them, and I have had no problems at all, except one time when I needed support and found out their support is as useful as asking a damn monkey. But other than that in my experience they have been great.
