How much are you paying for web hosting?

Probably, too much! Check out http://......com

I don't trust these ads.  There's always a catch.  They do provide all they say, but what they fail to mention is the cost for transfer usage.  That means if you get a lot of hits to your site, then they will charge more.

Sometimes the free domain offer is for one year, and then after that you have to pay for it anyway.  A worst case scenerio is that the webhost retains ownership of your domain name.

If you have a small audience and lots of stuff, then this might be a good deal.  It allows you to get rid of the banner ads and have lots of photos on your site.

However, I wouldn't trade the support and help that I've received from Matt (owner of Rival Pro) and the rest of the users in the
Rival Pro support forum.  Anytime I have a question or problem, I have an answer or solution quickly.

Rival Pro offers low-cost webhosting, imo.  At present the Lite package, with 20 MB storage, costs five dollars per month.  The Silver Package, with 50 MB storage costs a couple of dollars more.

To provide cheap hosting, some places put a lot of sites on each machine.  This means slow download times for your site and waiting to log onto FTP.

All the things I've mentioned above, I've gathered from listening to the reasons why people have changed over to Rival Pro.

Another issue that I would worry about: If a host provides cheaper than market value for webhosting, then what guarantee do I have as a webmaster that they won't go bankrupt?  I have spent a lot of time and work to move my site.  I wouldn't want to keep having to do it over and over while webhosts go out of business.

Before I'd sign up for any of these cheap services, I'd want to talk to someone who is currently using it.

As far as I'm concerned, support is everything.  For less than $10 a month, I have a webhosting tutor on call 24/7.

This is my opinion.  YMMV (Your mileage may vary.)
