Hi Everyone! I have been looking for a website host for many weeks now and can't seem to find any that fit my needs. I hope that some of you might be able to give me some hosts to check out. I have listed the features that the host must have below...
> $2.00 or less (per month)
> 5 MB or more space
> 1 - 3 GB (or more) data transfer (per month)
> FTP Access 24/7
> Email (or) Telephone support
> Payment available by Check/Money Order
> Money Back Guarantee
If anyone can help please either post a message on here or email me. Any help would be great!

Dim8.net actually wrote me back regarding my post, and their features fit all my requests. It just goes to prove that you don't have to pay a lot for high quality. Since I am on a very tight budget I am not able to pay for those website hosts that make you pay $30 per month and barely offer any features.

There are two ways of looking at this. One is that the host is charging you $30/mo and barely has any features. The hosts I know who do this, offer a decent amount of transfer for that price and also don't jam pack the server with tiny $2 accounts.
I'm not saying Robert and dim8 aren't good. I'm just saying that in general, if you've looked into dedicated servers and the cost to run them (transfer, support, etc., etc.), $2 doesn't provide the host with much money.
Once you take out processing fees, the host is left with just over a $1.50 (somewhere around there), and you'd need quite a few $1.50 accounts to pay for a nice stable server on a decent connection.
Anyway, I hope it works out for you, but just realize these points.
