You don't get reliability for one dollar. You don't get service either. One dollar per month is way too cheap. You get what you pay for.

I use Surpass Hosting http://www.surpasshosting.com and they're ok. Plans start out at $6 per month.

At the top of the page is a link to Namesco, they're the guys this forum has hosting with.

As Matt said, you get what you pay for. It might seem like a bargain now, but wait until you ask for some support!

Thanks for the info guys, but I want to lauch a smal website, I'm talking 1MB, but I do need the bandwidth, perhaps unlimited, and a domain name all in one host, can you suggest me some hosts that don't give to much webspace, but lots of bandwidth, and a cheap domain name?

Thank you.

Well when hosts say this they don't really mean it, check the fine print! If you really started using up bandwidth they'd shut you down quicksmart. Also if your site is only 1 meg in size it isn't going to require much, only sites that are serving files (videos audio etc) need worry about bandwidth.

Have a look at some of the horror stories about 1dollarhosting out there.

As for another host, well I think the suggestions given will meet your needs. There's about 3 hosts being advertised on this site at the moment, NamesCo (under affiliates above) is who this site is hosted with, I'll also plug http://www.jlhost.com the owner of which hangs around here and is generally a nice chap. Smiling

Unfortunately I'm not aware of any hosts that sell in the volumes you require, maybe someone else has a suggestion (and no that isn't an opportunity to spamvertise with a barrage of self-promotion Wink )

I have read some "nasty" stuff about this company a while ago. i don't know if they improved services in the meantime, but anyway .. 1 dollar is a bit too low for a hosting plan. Even I pay 3 Laughing out loud
