I have a domain, and I'm am looking for any free (or very inexpensive) host that can provide the following:

3-5 mb space
Not much bandwidth at all.
Ability to have one subdomain (mail.mydomain.com)

All I want to do is host it and have the MX records moved to everyone.net (hence the need for mail.mydomain.com) It will be used strictly for e-mail, and maybe redirection or something at a later date. Please contact me if you know of a place that can help me with this.

I recommend HostingMatters.com :)

Catalog.com, Site5.com is also good I hear!

About any host can do this... The only thing they need is an all the time online DNS server.

You can get this for less than $10 per month and most likely less than that if you e-mail the company and ask for a special deal... since bandwidth is what costs a lot, if you use almost none, you could get an acount for as low as $1-$2 per months ;)

Ryan:

Try using a free domain host and use a company like zoneedit.com to manage the DNS. This will be the most cost effective way of handling your needs (0 cost)

All you need is http://centralinfo.net or (as mentioned) http://zonedit.com (you don't need hosting at all).

Agree with Chicken, also mydomain.com.

If you want really cheap hosting, then check out http://www.digitalspace.net . $3/month with 2 subdomains. I have to warn you, use them only if you don't need support, because they're terrible, it might takes a week or so to reply your question.
