I’m looking for someone to host a website. Here’s what I need:

10ish MB of space. 25 would be better, but 10 is fine, as a minimum.

2.5gb of xfer. 5 would be better.

ASP support.

5 subdomains.

5 POP3 mailboxes.

Anyone have any recommendations? I’d like it done as cheap as possible, really, but I’d rather have quality than save $2/month.

Does anyone have any experience with such a service?

Check out Intergenix ([www.intergenix.net](http://www.intergenix.net)). I’ve had sites with them for close to 3 years now and never had a problem. There’s been all of one day of down time in all that time.

See recommendations in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=146721) and [that thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=155884). Read the post of yosemitebaby, warning about combining the registration and hosting company. And see that warning becoming an actuality in  
[this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=181761).

FTR: those are other people’s recommendations, I’m still looking as well.
