I'm going to be launching a new website soon and it's been at least four years since I've actually had anything that was on paid hosting. So basically, I feel completely out of the loop. The last three or four websites I did were on Tera-Byte.com and after browsing through their site and seeing that the members section page was last updated in 2004, it got me thinking about looking around to see what else was out there and what kind of prices I should be paying.
My new website is my first serious attempt at serving a broad range and large number of users and because of this I want to have plenty of head room for growth. Furthermore, I want a company that has been around for a long time and I can feel comfortable that the available plans are going stay the same. The plan I was looking at on Tera-Byte was around $100/year and included these features, which are the most important to me:
Using those things mentioned as a baseline, is $100/yr good? bad? generally expected?
Are there better deals? Maybe I could get more space or bandwidth for around the same cost or less?
I'm sure there's going to be more questions popping in my head soon about this. But I figured I'd start asking what I had and go from there. Thanks in advance .

- 800MB space
- PHP/Perl & MySQL
- 40 GB transfer/month
- Subdomains
- Generous amount of POP3 Email Accounts
