06 MayHow are these web hosts so cheap? Are they reliable?

helper|website hosting rating

A best hosting webspace question:

I’ve read a few bad reviews online, but I feel like they can’t be trusted.I am starting a website, and looking for a host. I found these 3, and they all seem too good to be true:

http://www.StartLogic.com : Unlimited Bandwidth, Unlimited Space, Free domain. 5 bucks a month.

These places have similar deals:

http://www.hostmonster.com/

http://www.dot5hosting.com/dot5/special_promo.bml

That just seems extremely cheap. Looking elsewhere, its more like a month for limited bandwidth and space. Is there a catch? Are these sites reliable? I haven’t bought webspace in a long time, so I am a bit lost. But, I just don’t understand how these are so cheap/why everyone doesn’t use them. Thanks for any help. If these are ok, which one is best?

A best hosting webspace question:

I am looking to create a webzine, and have the concept, webspace/domain, and writers already. But I am not sure which content management system would be the best for creating it and laying it out. The ‘zine will be quarterly, but I do want a comment system and the ability to create a staff heirarchy. I’d prefer something that is easier to design around using CSS (instead of a lot of PHP, which I know is true for some). My web host has a bunch on auto-install, but I have installed a number of things manually in the past, and am not deterred by that.

A best hosting webspace question:

I am setting up a webpage to advertise myself as I am a concert pianist. I realise that you can’t really set up free webspace unless you are on myspace, youtube, etc. But I want to set up a webpage, with a low a price for hosting/domain name etc. as possible!

03 MayWhy is bandwidth so exspensive to big websites?

A best hosting webspace question:

Okay this has been annoying me for a while.
I own several websites and each hosting is under £10 per month with a little webspace and unlimited bandwidth.
I am fascinated with the wikileaks story and was reading wikipedia and it says it costs 0,000 for servers and bandwidth?

Why is this?
Why dont they get a godaddy account? (joke) I know y

Thanks
Btw I do best answers!

02 MayWhat are the best free host you know of?

FAQ|website hosting rating A best hosting webspace question:

I need to find a new server since mine is starting to get more downtime than is acceptable, what I need is:

1GB Webspace (could live with half)
>8GB Monthly bandwidth
FTP Access
Cron Jobs
.htaccess control
and all the other related stuff

And no, I will not use 000webhost, just a little too sketchy for me.

I do like smaller hosts with less than 100 people on the server :)
(Post to host is fine if under 25 posts/month)
How on earth did I forget to say PHP with PDO and mySQL?
I was wanting the servers, not CMSs, I already have a custom made CMS based off simplepie
GoDaddy is crap.
