Here is a much better dealwith a good name. Go with Aletia( www.aletiahosting.com ).

They offer 200 mb storage, 10gb transfer, and you can host up to four domains on one account for FREE. Plus they offer all the other standard features such as unlimited domain parking, etc.

The price is only $7.95 per month if you pay 1 year advance, or $9.95 on a monthly basis.

They have one of the best reputations on this board. Check out the other thread recently on Aletia and you will see not a single complaint about them. Everyone says they are great.

Here are my sites I host with them if you want to check the server speeds:

I didn't see your mention of "Windows hosting" requirement. I'm not sure if they offer windows hosting, maybe you can ask them.

Also if you pay one year advance they will register one domain name for free, and I think they may renew the registration if you renewed the contract after a year, but I'mnot positive about that.

I am hosting one of my site with Aletia, and very much satisfied with them. But they do not offer Windows server :bawling:

dsj, Aletia's $8/Gig if you go over the 10 Gigs is pretty pricey. If you think you might get anywhere near the 10 Gigs you'd be better off looking somewhere else. Many shared hosting plans charge in the neighborhood of $3-5/Gig if you go over your plan's bandwidth.

i think ntidesign.com can provide you reliable hosting. have u talked to gearhost.com and siebyside.com then ? I think you better ask them about their services, and whether they can support your hosting requirement before signining up with any of them.
