You can get a VPS really cheap these days. Less than 200 bucks a year. I highly recommend it. It costs more than shared hosting, but the complete control makes up for it. I've been using Linode since Oct and have been very happy.
For cheap shared hosting, I've had great luck with nearlyfreespeech.net.
- ez77 16y agoLess than 200 bucks a year. Indeed, less than 30 bucks a year [1], with unmetered bandwidth (if slow). I thought it had to be a scam, but I tried it out of curiosity... and it works!

- eli 16y agoI'd hate to put that "unmetered" thing to the test with a suddenly popular website.
- elithrar 16y agoI pay Slicehost USD$20/m for a 256MB VPS + DNS hosting, and I've never had unexpected downtime. Yes, this means I'm doing the sys-admin work myself - but for hosting my own site & static media, it's pretty straightforward. The best part? I emailed them at ~2AM with a support request and got a reply about 9 minutes later. And they gave me the right answer to fix my problem.
