Thrift web-hosting ideas?

[spankyj]

I've been searching through some of the old threads, but my needs aren't the same.

I'm looking to host a small site (20mb) - with minimal monthly traffic.

Don't need anything fancy, it'll be more of just a hobby site than anything else.

Any ideas? - I'd like to spend less than $20/year.

PS - I probably should have mentioned I have a domain that I want to transfer - I'm not just looking for a free subdomain.

Is there a catch with the doteasy site?

Rdubbz - your link doesn't work.

PM RossMAN, he always has good advice. Also, search ATOT... few people are offering free hosting

I would advise AGAINST hosting your website on your own personal PC....

If you have broadband though, you could install Linux with Apache on an old desktop to use that as your own server. It doesn't take much for a low bandwidth type of site.

Thanks for the advice - I'm going to try and give Telnap a try - looks like just what I am needing.

You paypal them 5 bucks and they charge you every month based on storage, cpu usage, and bandwidth. You don't use it, you don't get charged for it.

5 bucks normally lasts me a year.

Why pay for web hosting when two AT'ers are offering it for FREE?
