Currently, I have registered a domain, and use a DNS re-direct service to point back to the space provided by my ISP.
I pretty much use it for a static e-mail address (in case I change ISPs) and storage space.
So, what I'm looking for:
Low monthly/annual rate
High storage capacity (100Mb+)
multiple FTPs (not a neccesity)
subdomains
reliability
monthly transfer (i don't neat a boatload, but I won't complain if I get it...i guess at least 2 GB).
Any options?

Thanks, I'll take a look at that.
Honestly, I was shooting at something <$50/year, as that's about what I'm paying for my DNS re-Direct.
But I'll look into that.

Oh ok, if you don't need more than 50MB, the second May Special get close to it ($80), but it may not be enough space.
Good Luck :)

but you want to pay just like payments for a web host that what payments for a DNS-Redicect. don't you think that are you getting different things?.

Jedito,
Yes, I realise they are different things. I'm just looking around to see what other options are available.
My ISP gives me 100MB storage, unlimited e-mail, FTP access, and hasn't said anything about traffic yet. This basically meets all of my needs.
When I graduated from college, I moved from my .edu to earthlink, then to mindspring, and when I moved to my current ISP, I decided that I was sick of sending mass e-mails to everyone I knew or do business with to get them to change their contact information, so I went with a DNS Re-Direct/E-mail forwarder.
Combined, my ISP and this service meet my needs. The ISP is obviously neccessary, so that cost is a definite. The only variable is the DNS re-direct/host.
As this currently meets my needs, I'm evaluating what other options are available at the same cost, or if a particular increase in cost brings a comparable increase in benefits (to me).
The wonders of capitalsim.

Well... good luck, but I don't think that you go to get 100 MB from a reputable webhost for $4 month...
Our Police Dept. went with http://www.webmanixhosting.com for $40 for the year, and they have been giving us awsome service.
