Can you give me any help/advice with finding a good host? Differences

It can be tricky finding the right host - you need to think about the following factors:

1. What server-side scripting/databases you might need.

2. You much traffic you will get.

3. How big the files are going to be (this combined with 2 will let you work out the bandwidth you will require).

+Inmate: JKMabry runs serveit.org, a dirt cheap web hosting service geared towards inmates and beginners who just need a little space and some big kid server side tools to work with.

-RunningWolf - a good reasonably priced service that a number of inmates use and it is also run by another inmate (Pugzly).

www.spoke-and-axle.com - an interesting service which matches people who have a need to use large files (like the Rustboy site) with people who have spare bandwidth. This could help you have a site with high quality multimedia and still keep your hosting costs reasonable.
