It depends what you want to do with your site. Do you want to just serve freebies or do you want actual web pages? And if you want web pages, what kind- plain HTML (which every hosting company supports) or do you want "serving pages" such as ASP or PHP? Do you have a preference for server- Windows 2000/ NT, Apache, UNIX? And will you need a database- what kind? mySQL or SQL Server? What about e-mail accounts? How many do you need? Do you want to ability to check mail through your web browser? Do you want Front Page extensions? If so, go somewhere else. Just kidding... or maybe not. You may know how to do Front Page extensions, but if the server isn't set up correctly, some one else's faulty extensions could mess up the entire server... and bring your site down. What is your budget? Is $20.00 too much, even though the hosting company has a 99.99% uptime? Or is $4.95 a month the "perfect" price even though their reliability is not very good? (Remember, if Renderosity does another one of their "sweeps" and finds your stuff is not available at that time, it will be removed from the Free Stuff.) In my opinion, you should go with a monthly or quarterly plan. Yes, some hosting companies offer an annual plan, but what happens if you don't like the service after the second month? You're stuck for the rest of the year... sure, you can move some place else, but you may not get your money back.
