I’m finally making a website to post my resume and animation reel.
I need to be able to post video clips in a variety of formats.
I’ve gotten opinions from friends and coworkers, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t ask y’all.
So…
Who, what, where, and how much?

[Tigertech](http://www.tigertech.net).
$75 per year (or $6.95 monthly). 2GB storage, 100GB bandwidth, 20 POP3 mailboxes, 200 E-mail forwarding names, etc. Check the page for all the goodies.
Your domain registraion is included in that cost! And you own the domain. They’re extremely fair, and very reliable.
I have 4 sites hosted with them (one for the last 5 years) and wouldn’t use anyone else.

I can also recommend Site5. Great support and good pricing. The $7/mo plan will get you 10Gb of space and 200Gb transfer (plenty of space for video).
Dreamhost is a really great value ($8/mo for 20Gb, 1Tb transfer, but they’re certainly not as reliable.

I’ve had nothing but good things from [www.hostica.com](http://www.hostica.com) – there are variety of plans ranging from $1/mo to $15/mo or more, depending on what you need. Easy to switch between plans too.

We had one of these recently, so I’m going to pop up again and recommend [MyMarkdown.com](http://www.mymarkdown.com/partners/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=Anuruddha).
And not just because they have an affiliate program that pays me a commission, either. 😃

Thanks all for the advice.
I decided to use TigerTech.
I’ll let you know when my nifty, nifty site is ready for viewing.
