You've been suing it? :lol:
$10 for a one time payment doesn't seem realistic, do you realise they have to pay for power, and a connection to the internet (and they can't fund that with new signups, because they'd have to buy more hardware).

www.webhostingtalk.com is a good place to ask about hosting

Godaddy is really cheap if you have this inside knowledge:

Add a domain to your cart.
Click here and add this to your cart: http://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/email/...isc=goooff12aa (economy edition)

This will bring your totals to:
Domain name $2.24
Economy Folder: $4.95
Total - $7.19

Add the coupon code SAVENOW in the coupon box.

This brings the total to around $6.45 which is the cheapest price for a domain on the internet.

Cheap webhosting != good.

http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=474952

Dreamhost, a previously good webhost, is now overselling.

To exaplain overselling:
A little overselling is good, because it cuts costs. Basically, you are assuming that customers won't use what you allot them. If you have a server with 100 GB's of storage, and you see that most of your customers use < 1GB, but you offer 4GB's of storage, it makes more sense to let around 300-400 people to go on a server, instead of only 100. That way, it cuts costs for you and for the customers.

But, if you go overboard (Like dreamhost, and most hosts now), you run the risk of going out of buisness (1TB of bandwidth a month??? Run a linux mirror on that or something! KLForums only uses around 10GB/month, and PC Help Forum should use probably twice that, but not 1TB! Really, that is insane).

Then, if you do use up a lot of resources, some hosts (if they oversell way too much), will attempt to kick you off of the server. If they are overselling mildly, they can afford to move you to another server.
