Sounds very inexpensive and hopefully that doesn't translate into cheap - that is, cheap quality. Just visiting their website I don't like the fact I can't get a hold of someone right now, when I'm at their website home page. At least I didn't see it easily. Hopefully their uptime is rock solid, IOW, in 365 days from you opening your hosting account, your site is available 365 days/yr, 24x7 or close to it. If they need to do maintenance/downtime work, hopefully they give fair warning and for how long. And it should be an extremely short amount of time. Is it speedy consistently for a long time. Do you have any of your website/blog visitors asking, "Why is your site so slow?" Other than that, they should just run, run fast for a long time, and not bother you with a bunch of email about this and that. Payment receipt type emails are okay, which give you a way to keep reocrds that you paid $x.xx for a given time period. One email a year would be okay from a host account saying, "We're glad you're here and appreciate your business, if you feel like this service has been good for you, please feel free to tell your friends, family, etc. Oh, by the way, we think your website/blog rocks!!" That would be an acceptable email from my hosting account. Still, go over to www.webhostingtalk.com and ask some questions or do some of those Google searches I mention in this article. Just remember, ultimately you have a lot of work to do creating and maintaining your website/blog, your hosting account should one of the last things you have to worry about. My two cents. :) Good Luck!! First, thanks for commenting.

I've been using 230mb.com. It is a brand new web host and their offers seems to be balanced. (5GB of disk space, 250GB of monthly transfer, 20 MySQL Db hosted in the same server with my defined user names, 20 ftp accounts which i can create, they have one click installer (i think it is fantastico) that supports wordpress, joomla, PHPBB3 and many others. It just less than $35 a year. What do you think about this <a href="http:\\www.230mb.com" rel="nofollow">230mb web host</a> offer? Hi. I’ve been using 230mb.com.
