Host W/Free Domain?

[EL_Tee]

Anyone know a paid host that is cheap (under $10 a month) that gives you a free domain with your signup and allows you to pay month to month? Don't need more then 20 megs of space. I don't wanna pay an annual fee for something that might not last...

Hi,
Most free domain offers would be on "yearly" accounts.
When a host registers the domain name for you they have to pay the yearly fee at time of registration, just as you would.

Cheaper registrars include
www.godaddy.com which is 8.95. year.
www.000domains.com which is 13.50 year.

You can always email your potential host and ask these questions before signup.

Best of luck....and
Happy Holidays

Unlimited Data Transfer
No such thing as this host so nicely points out in their TOS:

Sorry... 2MHost Inc. can not allow its customers to operate Bulletin Boards. These applications simply consume too much bandwidth. In order to allow the operation of Bulletin Boards, we would have to charge a lot more.

Unlimited Bandwidth:
2MHost Inc. allows unlimited bandwidth for all sites, except for those that:
Run any type of Real Media files, including .ra, .ram, .rm, .mp3, .mov, and .avi files.
Offer any type or size of downloads including .exe files, .zip (or any other compressed files) and .pdf files.
Operate any type of chat, forum, irc or similar programs.
Allow visitors to upload files. For sites meeting these conditions, 2MHost Inc. promises to deliver truly unlimited bandwidth.
If your site cannot meet all of the conditions listed above, 2MHost Inc. will allow 2.5GB free bandwidth per month and charge $4.00 for each GB above the 2.5GB limit.

Also they'll cancel you if you run any of these kinds of sites:

Online/Offline Games and Anime Sites - Includes all online/offline Casinos, Jumpling, MUDs, Egg Drop, interactive gaming on our servers, Anime communties, PlayStation games Forums, news, reviews.

Portals - Includes any size portal for any purpose (PHPNuke, PosNuke,..).

Never saw this with a paid host either:

Our intention is to provide a large storage space to serve web documents, not an off-site storage area for electronic files. All image files (.GIF, .JPEG, .BMP, etc.) stored in an account on our servers must be 'linked' to web pages (.htm, .html) which reside within the same account. Accounts containing numerous or large (over 500Kb) unlinked files are subject to warning, suspension or cancellation at the discretion of 2MHost Inc.'s administration.

Doesn't mean they're bad though... just be sure to read through the entire TOS cause it seems very restrictive

MySQL database (optional)

Well, I think that's with this plan. They'd probably want more for the db and other stuff. I don't blame them for banning those programs/sites.

I don't know anything about them but they still look good to me. One good hint is their excellent website. :D
