Heya folks. I was wondering if any of you knew of any good (but inexpensive) web hosts. I'm in the eastern US and they would have to host asp scripting, but beyond that, I was wondering what everyone else was using?

Thanks in advance for any help you guys might offer!

You should go to Web Hosting Talk (http://www.webhostingtalk.com) forums and at the bottom is a whole forum of hosting offers. You can also post exactly what you're looking for and host will reply with offers.

I personally use MidPhase (http://www.midphase.com). $7.50/mo for 1200MB storage and 35GB hosting. I'm not sure exactly what ASP (active server page?) scripting is and does, but contact them and see if they offer it. Is there another name for it? Does it have anything to do with MySQL? I'm a newb at web stuff...

If you or anyone else here decides to go with them, please let me know so I can get referral credit!

Thanks,
-Bad Mange

Thanks - I am checking them out now.

What host is everyone else using? My biggest concern is the transfer limits after seeing all the red X's on this and other forums....

With a 15GB limit you don't have to worry.
You need to be REALLY active to reach the 2GB limit.

I contribute in many themed threads.
For example in the 500 list thread as AndyT.

The biggest traffic I had was 2,17 GB when a script went nuts 2 times.
(This script caused almost 80% of the traffic that month)

Usually it's between 500MB and 1GB.

$7.50/mo for 1200MB storage and 35GB hosting sounds too good to be true :eek: !

I have one thing I would like to add. With web host you get what you pay for. Its that simple.

Yeah but sometimes you pay for the name of the company.
Better compare offers ...
