Well, I thought I had found my host, (which was that 12 charactered host that was banned form this forum because it was spamming), but now I can not trust them because people were recommending me not to go with them. (I also looked them up in hostsearch.com and found that almost every review was a vert negative one). But they had absolutely everything I wanted:

- Multiple domains
- Multiple FTP Accounts
- Subdomains
- A ton of space (500mb)

And the price was a good price, 18.99 a month. Does anyone know of a host similar to this? I am sure their are, but I did NOT want to go over 20$/month. I heard communitech was kind of like this, but in order to get 22$ a month, I had to sign up two years ahead, and that would turn out to be a heafty charge on the credit card. Any site recomendations would be great

Well, once I find a host, we (my frieds & I) will start rapidly working on it. We have already started working on it. Right now, he have a free host hosting the domain very temporarily. I am not even going to try and build the site from that host because it is so cheap. (www.portland.co.uk it has 100mb BANDWIDTH, 15mb storage). Also, with this cheap host, I can only access the site with the prefix "www" in front of the name, I cant just go to lumpymilk.com, it doesnt work for some cheap reason. But if anyone knows of a host kind of like ch@ampionho$t please please tell me, I will keep looking also, thanks.

Realistically, you're asking quite a bit for the bucks you have to spend, Dan... you may need to pull in your sights a bit. Nearest I can think of is maybe Tera-Byte.com

I don't currently host with Tera-Byte.com, but my general conception was that they were reasonably well regarded... I'd invite comment from others in this forum who have more direct experience with them.

You'll find it hard to find a better service than tera-byte :).
