I need a new Webhosting for some my websites (in html only and reasonnable amount of pages view).

A friend of mine sent me the offer of serverpronto.com (from infolink.com).

Honestly it looks like they are nickle and diming you on everything. Yeah the monthly fee is small but before you know it that setup fee is going to run you $300+. If you aren't familiar with managing your own server I would suggest going with a managed dedi or a virtual account. I personally use a virtual account and it's been very good to me. I host about 40-50 domains on it right now with no problem. Look around, you are sure to find a better deal then that.

I agree, the monthly fee is low, but with everything they charge you for a lot of stuff. Personally, I think if you arent going to use all that space, its just too much for you.

Its not the server - its the bandwidth provider you want to pay for.

Some people say that AMD Duron is more liable to overheat and with Webmin it's not going to be very user friendly unless you are an experienced server admin.
Shared hosting, fully managed, with a more user friendly control panel is going to be easily attainably for $30 a month (VPS likely to be more than normal shared, will need to search for a good VPS at $30 I would think).

1 support ticket = $15 ? :-D

for less than $29.95, you can get unlimited domain hosting.
