Hi. Does anyone know any cheap hosts that have mySQL, cgi, ftp, and have yearly fees not monthly fees? I must also be able to transfer my domain for free.

Please reply ASAP.

Our prices start as low as $9.95/month loaded features. Prepay for one year and you can get 10% discount!

you can also pay by a year if you want to, as it says. there aren't very many places to only pay by the year with, although most companies offer that as an option.

I think DownTownHost (http://www.downtownhost.com) has a plan for $7.95/month. And it's less if you pay yearly.

Another option is HostCulture (http://www.hostculture.com/) . They have a Special package plan going for like $59.95/year.

eh, i'd be weary of something that cheap. and if it doesn't have PHP/mySQL its not worth it, IMHO. but, what the heck, go for it. theres a few hosts that offer plans very cheaply, but they use Cogent bandwidth and generally don't have much support. if its not $1/gig of transfer plus a little bit of overhead, i'd definately be weary.

Cyberpixels (http://www.cyberpixels.com/plans.php) may meet your needs. I've been with them over 2 months now and am very pleased.

Cheap hosts are cheap for a reason...

Anyone that offers the world for 3.95/mo is a liar.

i would like to ask if anyone know of any NT hosts with MS SQL database.

I will appreciate any comments or suggestions.

Cyberwings is very cheap, indeed. But it also hasn't gotten that many good reviews in reliability and customer service here at WHT.

:/

Most web hosting companies will give you the option of yearly fees instead of monthly fees upon signup. If you're looking for really cheap hosting, I would recommend posting in the requests forum and I'm sure you'll get a couple of offers.

i don't see what this has to do with the current thread, but almost all decent NT hosts offer SQL Server...
