Need suggestions for CHEAP, plain 'ol HTML hosting. I've found these:

I'm looking for CHEAP web Hosting; I'm just going to auto-FTP html pages to the server about once a week, so I don't need databases, stats, email, or anything fancy. This is mostly for SEO purposes. Minimum 5MB of disk space, 20G Bandwidth. I don't really care if it's fast or not, but it needs to be up most of the time. Top contenders so far seem to be:

eNom
DomainSpring
1and1
Dotster
Interland
Gate.com
Stargate
ace-host.net
Yahoo.com
Bluehill.com
Inc-hosting.com

Are there any others that I missed?
Thanks!

Check Dathorn.com. They are good.

dreamhost, or GD gives you free ad supported Hosting if you just need ftp

Thanks for the suggestions, please keep them coming if you have good ones.

The "unlimited domains" option is not something I need for this purpose, so one you take that out Dreamhost and Dathorn are the most expensive options. GoDaddy and 1and1 seem to be the frontrunners.

One thing interesting at eNom is I can run EVERYTHING on the same server -- PHP and ASP apps running side by side and it works. Nobody else does that so far.

I would recommend against 1and1. I've used them for about 2 yrs, and have run into serious issues with their Hosting.

In total, I have about 150 names either registered or pointed to them. In the past month, I've discovered issues with their DNS service - a decent number of domains simply were not pointing at the directories that I intended them to point to. I have only lost a few hundred $, but the pain has been tremendous.

I am still recovering / moving names, etc.
