Regarding web hosting price and quality don't equate very well. Excellent
service can be had from the cheaper end of the market, however beware and be
quick to use any 30 day guarantee if necessary.

In the $5 a month range it would be hard to beat SurfSpeedy.com for a
balance between full service and price, on the other hand in a similar price
range (and offered services), Dot5 was for me inefficient and poor at
communication.

However, a real treasure I discovered recently is 2buckwebs.com which is
indeed $2 a month, a smaller company with scaled down services but their
support is excellent, and as I needed extra services such as a particular
stats program, they installed it for me without my requesting they do so, I
had merely asked how to access the raw data so I could install it. They went
the extra mile. Despite their daggy name, they have suited me.

I don't work for any hosting company BTW, just sharing my experience. Best
of luck.
