    I'm looking for cheap web hosting. It would be nice if it where a reseller thats no more then like 10 bucks a month(not happening though, and if there is such a plan it's prob not any good) anyhow. I'm looking for really cheap hosting...I want enough space and bandwidth that I don't have to worry about anything. Also, they don't limit you tooth and nail for CPU and ram or what ever. I'm kinda noob as I been getting hosting for free from a company, but I want to break off from that. So, who all do you recommended. And how much can I put on it. Also...what are their rules for warez stuff(not that I'm going to use a illegal vbulletin. But I do like to fiddle with them, I don't advertise them though...just fun to mess with it I guess on my past time.

    OR...if you own a reseller or what ever. I'm more then willing to help you out in all ways that I can. to get it free. I will place your link in the footer saying I'm proudly hosted by you. I can also help maintain your forum, and set up accounts for people, and that sort of thing. Maybe we can work something out. Anyhow...thanks...if this is in the wrong sport please move it and tell me where it went. So many forms here I have a hard time addapting to everything.

    You can easily get hosting for $10/month if you pay yearly or every 2 years or something. But if your wanting to pay monthly then you'd be looking to pay more than that (or pay a set up cost first).

    Also, shouldn't this be in the hosting section? Not general chat.

    If you can manage about 45$, go with servage.net. The 45$ plan is for 6 months, which works out at 7.50$/month. Or if you're looking to pay on monthly basis, you can go for hostgator.com (the 2nd plan) which costs about 10$/month.

    Bluehost are within your budget but it won't be a reseller account... You can host unlimited domains though!

    I have been using them since the beginning of the year and they have been great.

    I would check out some hosting reviews sites.

    www.hostingbuster.com looks like it has some reviews on HG

    I've got a lot of wordpress blogs running on HostGator. In fact, at least 30% of my websites are powered by WordPress. I've had no problems at all with them, so I'd recommend you to go with them. :)

    You might also get some free hosting asking someone may be 20$ to host for three months (the first month can be gotten for 1 cent - use coupon "wordpress") and in return, you'll have to sign up under the referral id of the person who paid you 20$. The one who pays you 20$ will basically earn 50$ in return, however he'll be paid after 60 days. I've seen some people offering similar deals in the BST section, so just thought you might give it a go as well. :p

    Or if you're kind enough to sign up under me, let me know. :D

    paying monthly is much more expensive...another advantage of paying for at least 6 months in advance is that you might be able to use some coupons and get some discount on your final bill.

    See, I'm going to be using my allowance to pay for it ;)...So lol...I have no other choice then every month...


    If I do use them(I may just say screw it and not do any sites as this is getting nerv racking. I'm having a hard time getting my site going right now due to copyrighting stuff. I have to retype everything. I doubt it's worth the hassle...

    I reccomend servage, but their database sucks.
    They have a great connection which actually supports what they offer (like 180gb/day)... but if you have a database driven site that generates that amount of traffic (or even 20% of that), it will be slow, hang and show MySQL connection errors...

    So.. even dough they have the infrastructure to support big sites... they don't have the configuration to support it well... since they have a few shared databases that gives timeout errors 98% of the time... and they collapse fast.

    check in hosting section that DP members offering their hosting services. I've seen many cheap packages there but be careful on choosing the provider. good luck.
