What's a good, cheap Web host?
My blog needs a knew home -- my sponsor publication closed up shop and is giving me a couple of months to find another host or just quit completely. (They're being cool about the whole thing...)

So -- I'm gonna register my own domain name and then create a site; blog mostly but, hey, it's my site, I can do what I want. I have a name in mind already but I don't want to post it, lest it disappear.

But, I do need a hosting provider -- I want a cheap one, but I don't want to work with Yahoo/Geocities (the one cheapie I have prior experience with). I don't need a hell of a lot of bandwidth or six-sigma uptime or anything -- it's just a blog.

Anyone have any experience with a cheap Web host? (I keep saying cheap because that's a priority...)

thanks!

4. I use. . .
http://www.hostrocket.com

I've been considering moving to http://www.hosting-pp.com/

Hostrocket has been good to me for a while, but the other one seems to be a tad cheaper and has all the same features.

6. I've always liked...
Powweb.com

Less than 8 bucks a month, and you get a lot of goodies and lots of stability.

8. Why don't you grab
a .mac account for $100 a year? Very versitile. Lots of good features and I think there's a native blogging application. I'm happy with it. I never had any bandwidth issues and thousands of people have looked at my movies and videos there without a problem. Good deal for less than $10 a month.

9. Hm...I'd like my own domain, though...
A bit of a vanity thing, I guess.

I'll take a look, though.
