You can also include additional details if you wish.

I thought OneandOne you had to pay up front for a whole year, whatever package you paid ? So technically you are not paying monthly are you ? Though thanks for the reply. Anyone else want to share what they use ?

I use VPNet, it's kind of a customised account.

500MB Space
15GB Bandwidth
Infinite POP3, MySQL, and Subdomains
All the usual stuff that's normally with CPanel, daily backup, pre-installed scripts etc...
It should be around £40 a year, but I get a special friend discount aswell as a DB user discount but I'm not saying how much.

I'm on Vapournet too, amazing service. Also I know Mike and wont reveal my price. But it's very cheap anyway and you can pay monthly. http://www.vapournet.com/ but contact Mike if your a DB user for a discount.

I use http://www.doteasy.com because it's free with no ads if you register the domain name through them. Only 20 MB storage and 1GB monthly transfer, though.

I was worried that wouldn't be enough, but my busiest month so far has been under half a gigabyte.

I use oneandone home package
4.99 + vat per year for the hosting
= 100mb webspace, 3GB month traffic

Then you host unlimited domains in that space
.co.uk = 1.99 + vat per year
.com = 8.99 + vat per year

I have 7 domains there and have no problems, no annoying popups, no server problems, e.t.c.

Yes, it's more expensive than most and yes, you pay a lot upfront (usually a year's worth) but why have the hassle that most people have with cheaper hosting companies.

I love it when a plan comes together
