I am looking for a new webhost.

Most of all I'd like a free one (in exchange for a banner - no popups) but I can agree to pay a small amount of money every month.

Here is what I need:

Hosting of a .nu domain (which already exists).
Hosting of a 1.4 mb exe (a selfextracting zip file which is a game which I am the author of).
At least 5 mb diskspace.
At least 1Gb datatransfer/month.
At least 10 email aliases.

A stable server with high uptime percentage!

My website is a commercial one, I sell my shareware game on it.


Thank you for your help.

Hi :)

Need much bandwidth/get many downloads? Do you need CGI and/or support for other languages?

I'm currently close to 1 Gb/month but that may rise. But 1 Gb/month will be sufficent for the time being.
Perl would be nice and so would SSH access but its not necessary.

http://www.fateback.com
Has unlimited bandwidth, 60mb, and FTP you could use that for.

I've had a lokk at fateback though they seem fairly new. I'd like a webhost that has been around for at least a year or two so that you know if they're going to last and that they don't try to do something.
I'm currently being hosted by Trinityhost, maybe you read about them =)

Wasn't fateback really slow?
