I was wondering if anyone knew of a decent Windows Host, I don't care about the Windows Server version, though the latest would be nice :P

My price is like $5-8 a month (If you can get it for that price) (Monthly Payments too :/)

I would need something along the lines of this:
- 1 addon domain is really all I need
- Subdomains ability would be nice, but not required
- 150-200MB Space (My current directory size for the site is 114MB) (I would like 500MB, though 150-200 is probably enough)
- 5GB Bandwidth at the least (I want a bit of comfort room :)) (I would like 10GB, though 5GB is probably enough)
- At least 1 MySQL Database (Gotta run SMF)
- 1 FTP account at the minimum
- I don't care about the control panel, as long as its decent
- Emails would be nice, but also not required, as I can host it elsewhere
- Oh and of course PHP :P
- ASP is not needed, but if it had it, it wouldn't hurt :D

I think that is all, if it isn't possible to get what I am looking for for $5-8 a month, do tell :D I usually go with major overselling hosts, but this time, I want a decent and very reliable host

Obviously you don't need windows hosting due to the fact your website runs php/mysql and you don't need asp :D
Linux hosting is usually cheaper than windows hosting.
Linux hosting has some features that windows hosting does not support.

What kind of features would it not support? I know Windows servers have PHP and MySQL, and thats about all I need.

The thing is, I don't need Windows Hosting, I would just like to try it out, plus, the point of my site is Microsoft/Windows related, so I thought, why not try and see how hosting it goes on Windows, however stupid it may sound :)

Hello,

Do not forget that as much as you pay, as much you will get.

Nope, just a personal site
