I'm not new to this hosting deal, I just need suggestions.

I've got a humor site. It's kind of original. But it has a topsites on teh mainpage with links to sites that may have adult/dirty jokes. My site does not contain any of these type things, but it links to them. I also have a celeb of the week, and archive. I am looking for a very inexpensive host to host this site. I need CGI definately and thats about it. I have a domain already and a small budget. I need to know if any of you know of a hosting company with good hosting prices and will allow my site.

(SOME APPROXIMATE REQUIREMENTS
70 MB at least
at least 5 gb bandwidth
CGI)

The site is really quite simple. It consists of only a few pages, a good bit of images, and CGI scripts. It was getting nearly 800 hits a day before I closed it. I'm sure it will get more, and that is why I need a bit of bandwidth. If somebody could suggest a good provider for my situation I would greatly appreciate it. Feel free to e-mail me.

(I've looked at tera-byte. Any thoughts on policys, ect?)


The best thing would be a company that could offer the first month free. I know I could handle it much better after a month.

Tera-bytes plan 4 looks perfect for you at $9.25 month but really if you can't afford the the 1st month you should reassess whether a paid host is what you want.
