Re: Website Hosts

Good hosts are plentiful...good hosts at $10/month with all those
options are a bit more scarce...:).  They need to make enough cash
to cover costs.

Quite often the lack of SMTP doesn't mean you need to use your
ISP's address.  Set up a separate account in your email client
under the preferred address, and use the hosts POP server but your
ISP's SMTP server.  Mail is still sent from the desired
address...it's just routed through the ISP....the result is
transparent for most purposes, and only visible if you review the
headers.  If that bothers you, then you probably need a bulk
mailing host...:)

We can offer everything you need, with much greater bandwidth and
disk space, but I can't meet that price...sorry...:)

I would like to thank all that gave me suggestions about the
contact forms
and website hosts.

Ok, I'm going crazy, but hopefully one of you fine people will
have an
answer for me:

I am looking for a website host that is under $10/month, gives
full CGI-bin
access, has PHP software support, gives pop3 e-mails WITHOUT
making you use
your ISP's smtp server, and doesn't charge a setup fee.

Some of the other features I would like:

15-50 MB Disk Space
At least 500MB Transfer
Free domain name transfer
E-mail forwarding/E-mail auto responders
Control Panel
24/7 Technical Support
Online Manual/ In depth FAQ
Speedy account setup
30 day money back guarantee
FTP/Telnet access
Formmail

I signed up with Site Host, and found out this morning that they
do not use
SMTP servers for e-mail (which is leaving me to use my ISP e-mail
address
when I send mail for my domain name. I.E. joeschmo(at)isp.com instead
of
person(at)domainname.com.)
