I think your catch there will be the $40 a year. Windows hosting is always more expensive then Linux hosting due to MS's licencing fees for a lot of the software. If you did find such a host I'd be concerned about their quality as a provider. Still, anything's possible in this day and age :) I don't mean to sound off putting at all, but just to let you know it may be a while before you find anything decent at that price.

Central Info is about the cheapest windows host I know of, though they don't offer a lot in the way of features. I was going to add a list, but their site was down when I looked. A telling sign perhaps

How about if I plan to go in for Unix/Linux hosting with the following feature set:

Min. 10MB Space
Min. 2GB/Month Bandwidth
FTP
PHP
MySQL
Min. 2 Sub-domains
Min. 1 POP3 Account
Online Stats
Minimum Downtime & Reliable
E-Mail and/or Forum Support
Max. 40$/year (including setup, if any)

I already found 3 hosts matching my requirements:

* http://www.digitalspace.net
* http://www.hostyard.com
* http://www.worldzonepro.net

Any reviews on the above hosts (except for worldzonepro)? Please let me know if you know of any other matching hosts.

Thanks!
