Cheap domain hosts for official movie websites? Yahoo or tripod?

[Clint Nitkiewiz Hernandez]

Hey guys and girls, just wondering what domain hosts you use for your movie websites?

What is the cheapest that will allow maybe 1 gig or less?

I pay $11 a month for my company's website domain name, but I dont want to pay that much for a movie website, anything cheaper?

I see stuff for $1 a month, but dont know who to trust really,

Any ideas?

Thanks.

well, from a directing standpoint, I use hostmonster. unlimited this and that, including transfer. $6/month. i've been with them for a while. fast server, never had a problem.

$11 a month for a domain name? I hope you meant per year.

I host on my own server, 60 gigs storage space and 750 gigs monthly transfer. I pay about $85 per month, I like it, though, I have a 25 domain license so I can host a lot of sites on there, and I have a lot, so it's the perfect solution and gives me the maximum amount of control.

Plus if you're going to have even a decent number of people seeing your work you need some real transfer to put up high quality files. Not necessarily 750 gigs a month, but at least 100.

I've been happy with 1and1.com - I've been using them for a few years now for a variety of sites, rock solid servers. Even the cheaper packages for smaller sites are able to take larger load hits if necesarry.
