I found a super cheap provider, 3ix, DO NOT USE THEM. It was about $1/month. But they could not keep the hackers out. When you are on a shared machine, it is shared. Others have access to it. If the admins don't do a reasonable job, you get hacked and pay the price. The folks at 3ix.com were good. Well automated, support folks tried but didn't have a clue. It took to much of my personal bandwidth to keep a simple site running with web pages un-hacked, so I am paying 10x that $ amount at Godaddy for a similar service. I am not a godaddy fan, but I am not a detractor either. If it is enough for you, use sites.google.com for free sites. Point your domain at them, and you can even put a free google apps account associated with the same domain. Not a bad way to go if you can deal with its limitations. A friend runs a college from a google apps domain ( watkins.edu Watkins college of film and design in Nashville ) especially for email, documents, calendaring, etc... But they keep a few small servers on site for 'special' things they do. Being on Google Apps allowed the 'business' part of the school keep going during the Nashville flooding of last year (there was 4' of water all over their campus).
