Does anyone know a decent webhosting (and domain registration package) service? Low traffic, low bandwidth site for personal portfolio - looking for less than 20 bucks a month. ---

There’s [Go Daddy](http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/default.asp?e=com), which looks like it has hosting for as low as $5.95 a month. I don’t have any experience with them, though… ---

You should talk to this feller, Peat of [bigbluebang.com](http://bigbluebang.com)… He can host you for cheap and probably point you in a good direction for domain name registration, etc. is good! ---

[dixiesys.com](http://dixiesys.com). Something like $25/year. I host all my sites through them and haven’t had a problem with them. (They did physically move their servers once, causing a ~18 hour service disruption, but I don’t see this becoming a regular occurance.) ---
