Web hosting recommendations...?

[Whisper]

Alright everyone, I figure this is probably the best place to ask for this sort of thing, so here goes:

Basically, I'm looking to relocate to a new web hosting company. The plan should include at least 500mb of storage, and at least a few GB of transfer/month, just in case. I'm looking to pay somewhere around $100/year tops, so nothing too too fancy (i.e. 50 GB's storage and unlimited throughput, etc.).

Also, the web hosting company can't have any policies against having picture galleries, large numbers of pictures on the website, etc. It's for a fraternity website, and so picture galleries are a big part of it. No, nothing pornographic in nature, and no file sharing, etc.

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. I've alread heard of Endore.com. Any others?

Actually this isn't the best place for web hosting recommendations, WebHostingTalk.com is.

From personal experience and after spending about 20 hours researching web hosts I would highly recommend AddAction.net which offers:

$9.95 seutp fee
$0 first 6 months free with no obligation (yes you can cancel your account after 6 months)
$41.70 for the next 6 months or $6.95/mo

$51.65 per year / 12 months = $4.30 per month average

Another vote for Addaction.net. I use it and haven't had a problem and it's a great value for what you get...

 

[Whisper]

Addaction looks nice, but then...I'd be a bit wary of a company offering 6 months for free. My pessimistic side says that either they really need the business, or that they'll end up with a bit too many customers after this special. Other than that, looks pretty good.

Endore.com is still holding in, as is enhanced host.com

I've been happy with Hostworkz. They seem to meet your requirements and will customize any of the plans if you have special needs. They really do have 24 hour support (offices in California and Australia so it's 24 hour alert English speaking support).

You can look at my site to check response.

Ken, nice web site and everything loads fast

I second doteasy.
35 bucks for life!
Email and basic web hosting.

I really thought it was too good to be true.
What the heck, if it doesn't work I'll get my money back.

Aside from some initial email issues (due to my temporary server), now that I'm off of the temporary server(2 days), it rocks!

Thought I'd mention this since it's nice not having a monthly/yearly bill at all.

Thanks MitzEclipse!
