I'm getting a webpage together (this will be my first), and I was wondering which web hosting service you would suggest. I'm guessing 100mb is more than enough space, but my main concern is being able to expand when the time comes. Any suggestions?

I use fourbucks.net (http://www.fourbucks.net) and I have the middle plan I get 4000mb of space and 100gbs of transfer for 11$ a month (I know on there it says 75GB but that's the new plan and it's cheaper) or you could get 400MB and 15GB of transer for well 4$. Here's the pricing plan (http://fourbucks.net/pricingplans.shtml) The guy that runs it is super nice and helps me out all the time and I have yet to have any problems with them for the 2 years I've been with them, unlike the others I've delt with.

check out my hosting company: faze1 (http://faze1.net)

i pay $4.95 for 100mb and 1gig of bandwith...300mb of storage is only goes up to $7.95. its a small hosting company and the guy who runs it is really cool...i can actually talk to him when im having probs...and he's not crazy over you exceeding your bandwith(should it happen) i hear some places charge you if it happens...

anyway, ive been very happy. i pay through paypal, and it just auto deducts from my account every month. no muss no fuzz...

oh and you can change things at any time...my brother has gone up to like 20 gigs of bandwith to support his videos through the faze1 server.

I use http://www.0catch.com
I pay $99.50 for 500Mb of space, and 30 gigs of monthly bandwidth. If you do get with them, go with the yearly payment, you get a better deal. They got some other packages, so get whatever is good for you.
