Web Hosting
There are so many Web Hosting deals out there from free to high priced dedicated servers, it’s hard to pick the sweet spot. You want enough support to make sure you can stay online, but you don’t need a full time expert and the fee that comes with it.
A lot of my friends just need a place to put up a few Splash Pages and maybe a nice page to tell their story about why they’re online and how things are going. For that much, you don’t need high end hosting, but a free host is not going to have any commitment to keep you running.
The other day I was browsing around and ran into what I think is a sweet spot indeed. The basics for ONE BUCK a month. Plenty of space and bandwidth, but no databases unless you pay a little more. They do include PHP so you can run scripts and I have one to track how many downloads I get that works sweet. You don’t need your own domain name which saves a little more because they let you use the username you pick out as a subdomain on their space, like http://oldbuddy.angryhosting.com
There’s a PDF report linked on that page with some details on using Splash Pages you may find interesting. Check it out for yourself. If you don’t need any more power than what they offer, why pay more?
