Quote - I get a meesly 2GB transfer and 500Mb storage for $7.99 per month.

For several years until this past spring actually, I had hosted with bappy.com. When I signed on with them I had no idea about web hosts and it was recommended to me by someone, so I just signed with them. As years went by I started to see that there were other host sites that were much better, offered more and were cheaper. At Bappy.com if I were to renew my site this year, it would have cost me $130.00 USD ($9.99/mth) for the year if I paid in one lump sum, or $160.00 USD ($12.99/mth) if I paid monthly (something they just recently started to allow). What I got for that was: 200 MB of storage space 5GB of monthly bandwidth email support or a user helping user help forum unmoderated guestbook that received all kinds of generic spam Plus I think my domain renewal was something like $60 USD. I maxed out my storage space, and being off on disability right now, I couldn't afford to spend that much money on a hobby site. So it was either take my site off the net, or look around for a cheaper host. A friend suggested 1and1 and after looking into it, I opted to move my domain over to them.
