I want to set up a domain with approximately 50mb and php, so what would be the best/cheapest host? netfirms is $25 a year for a domain and $5 a month for 50mb of space. Any particularly good deals out there?

I can't. My connection (sattelite) is way too finicky, and the usb modem means my connection is dependant on my main pc being booted into windows. I want something that will be there always, not only when my comp. is up. Plus, my upload speeds suck.

There's PowWeb (http://www.powweb.com/).

They offer 250 megs of space and lots of bandwidth and other crap, all for $7.77 per month. And a domain name is $15 per year from there.

50megs.com gives you 50 megs for free. I just use tripod though, it works just as well, untill I can buy a server....

I signed up with powweb. $108 for a domain and a year of hosting. Got 50mb and 4bg of transfers per month. The site (theplustwo.com) should be up soon! Thanks for the tip, Menokh!
