Is there any good host for $40/Year?
Would like these things included:
- minimum 120 MB space
- minimum 750 MB traffic
- PHP4 & MySQL
- CGI-BIN
- A STABLE and FAST server
- minimum 2 mailboxes
- domain registration (domain.com or .net or .org)

That's it, but I really want a FAST one because I'm now on F2S, and while loading my forum, I always get a Timeout error... too PHP scripts do not go fast on F2S.. :(
Is this possible? :confused:
Most hosts need to pay per Month, 40 per year plz. I do not have a domain, so that one included.

Thx alot in advance for replying! :)

About 3 months ago I decided to try HostYard with one of my sites and I have been pleased. I heard they had some problems last year but they have been fast, stable and customer service has been very responsive since I've been with them. At $39.95 they have more than what you are looking for. I'd recommend them.

Thx, I saw it. But If I do not have a domain name yet, you need to pay $12.95 extra? Or is that one included for $39.50??
:rolleyes:

Sorry, but the next best option that I know is to buy your domain at someplace like http://www.namecheap.com/ for $8.88 and use HostYard. I still think HostYard is your best bet for hosting at that price. Above that would be Webdude's WorldZonepro at $48 per year (another good one).

I guess you could try http://directoris.com at their intro $14 for life special (till June 30th) but I think you are going to have problems with them down the road in a few months... and you did say stable and fast. So, that takes me back to HostYard. They are your best option for the price.

Well, Thx again for your reply. I think you're right, I'll take the one you said. Stable and fast are important so... And the price is not too high isn't it? For a hole year... :D

why is directions much cheaper then hostyard? They offer exactly the same.. Maybe because it isn't fast and stable enough... How can I know that?:(
