unlimited bandwidth is rubbish, no one can offer it, always read the small print on sites offering it as they will catch you out, fine you or close you down without refunds.
you can register a domain name for $8.99 a year at godaddy.com

If you dont require anything else, like databses, server side scripting etc your search would be very easy. heaps of packages out there for under $10 a month with databases and SSI etc

activewebhosting.com

The unlimited part is a big, fat lie. From Unlimband.com:

Quote: Web Hosting Companies that advertise "Unlimited Bandwidth" are giving out false information. In our long history, we have never seen any broadband company offering an internet connection as "Unlimited Megabytes Per Second." So, how could a Web Hosting Company, which normally doesn't even own its own access lines, advertise to customers that it will give them "UNLIMITED BANDWIDTH?" These Web Hosting Companies are lying to the public by placing ads on search engines and hosting directories to attract customers. Most of the time, high bandwidth sites on these "Unlimited" plans will be disconnected, and no refund given. Normally, the Web Hosting Company will say that the site violated its Acceptable Use Policy or Terms of Service. This is the reason why we set up this site, to educate people on the companies that scam individuals. The companies that bring bad feelings towards the word, HOSTING.

In Today's world, the average gigabyte of bandwidth ranges from $0.50 to $20.00. If a "high bandwidth" site (i.e. 200 Gigs per month) where to sign up for an "Unlimited Bandwidth" plan, it would end up costing the Web Hosting Company anywhere from $100.00 to $4000.00 to maintain these "high bandwidth" sites. Yet, most of these Web Hosting Companies only charge less than $20.00 per month. How can this be?

Whenever you visit a site promoting "Unlimited Bandwidth" as one of the account features, be sure to visit the Acceptable Use Policy, or the Terms of Service. Read the fine text about the so-called "Unlimited" disclaimer, you will be surprised!

We have noticed that many hosts are now using a theory that not all customers will use the same amounts of bandwidth, meaning that they will be able to provide customers that use bandwidth, the extra needed. That is true, but what happens if the host has many customers that seem to be using over the bandwidth averages?

ok, i will re-frase that...
they do not limit the amount of data transfer on your site.

you can have 180Gb transfer per month if you wanted, and they wont limit you.

that better???

and yes, i did read the user policy... about 3 times acually!

I have signed upto hostmatters now.
Just waiting for them to set up my account
don't know how long it takes though.
The domain I ordered still appears to be free if I search on it.

thanks everyone

If you really believe that, then try this: e-mail them and tell them you run an MP3 server (or something else really high bandwidth) and ask them if it'd be okay since the bandwidth is "unlimited." I got $5 bucks on the fact they won't allowed it.

that server doesn't allow mp3, zip, or movie files.

ha ha ha ha

well they have let me upload mp3 files
yet to see if I can access them

well now I can tel you all that as far as listening to my mp3 goes and hosting with hostmatters is that it WORKS!!!!!!!!
cool.

Thank you all again for your help.
