Webhosting... going out of my mind!
I just want to set up a basic site for a few hobbies, lots of pictures with descriptions... your basic hobby site.
There are thousands of webhosters but they all seem to have exactly the same ****. The cost really isnt' important, but based on what I've seen, I don't think I need to spend more than $10 month.
I need it to have a retard-simple sitebuilder that doesn't require me to select one of the uber-gay templates they all seem to push. Basically, I need a supersized version of vbGarage... just a place to put out photos, writeups, maybe host short videos, links to stuff... basics. I don't want any google ads, 500emails, and don't need to run a business from it.
If you've got a website like what I'm talking about, please post a link and let me know who you go through.

Link in my sig. (50megs.com)
You have to deal with popups, but the UI is simple. They have a pagebuilder, but if you wish you can work directly in HTML as I do. They also have a much higher bandwidth limit than geocities, which I used to use until the writeup got popular.

I use them and so do alot of business people I work around. Their bronze package is cheap, their customer service is great. They can both register and host for you. I think it was like $90 for a year with more storage and bandwidth than I could ever need for what we have online.
They're based in canada though they automatically exchange the $ rate.

Well, another hour out of my life trying to decide who to go with. I'd really like my own domain name, got it picked out and it's available... just so much **** to sift through.
Still looking, I'll get back to ya!

www.dreamhost.com
and they let us give out promo codes to make us money. i can either give big discounts or make big money or some combination. here's the big discount ones:
Y8SMONTH
Y8SYEAR
if you sign up for either the one year or monthly one they give the max discount. it makes the year one pretty damn cheap. you get $97 off. I think it's only 50 off for the monthly. dont bother with anything over "crazy domain insane" L1.
and I suggest registering your domain name somewhere ELSE so one company doesn't have you by the ***** if you ever need to move hosts. godaddy.com for example. you can do that now and get hosting later.
