wanna start your own site? check out this host.

200GB storage at signup (it increases each week)
2TB Bandwidth (that's 2000 GBs, and it increases each week also)
free domain name.
PHP/MySQL/CGI/Jabber

dreamhost.com

normally the price is 9.95 a month (if you prepay for a year), but if you use the code "MAX97" you get 97 dollars off for the first year!
so, including domain, you will be paying US$22.40 for the first year.

i plan to go with this host when i open my e-biz. i have checked uptimes and stuff (http://uptime.besthostratings.com/viewreport.php?host=dreamhost)
and would recommend this great deal to my fellow SH members.

i hope some people find this useful...

Its crap.

People seem to think bandwidth is all that matters; it is not.

The server lists do not specify the type of CPU's used, brand, whether they are dual core or duo, what they are clocked at, etc etc, nor how much RAM comes with the server.

You can have bandwidth out the ass, but if they server cant even run your software what good is it?

And the fact they make no mention of these specs goes to show they are probably very poor quality.

I'd stay away. You get what you pay for.

Best hosting company is NativeSpace.

I host all my sites with them, they are excellent and offer a variety of deals to suit your budget - and their customer support team is excellent too. I highly recommend them.

I checked out NativeSpace, they dont seem to offer dedicated servers.

EDIT 2 - Got a reply, have PMd it to you Ruk.
