Need Cheap Virtual Hosting

[thekebie]

This isn't for me .. my mom needs some hosting for a domain so she can put junk on ebay and link images and stuff. There are so many places for hosting, and I have trouble finding a good place. So basically cheap as possible she wont use much space or transfer, and a place that has a web interface would be ideal since she will have trouble grasping FTP programs.

So spam me with some good places, lots of the cheapest places I have found are just kids running rackshacks and what not, which are ok for the price, however I don't want to have to move her to a new host every 5 months, because they decide it is to much work and shut down.

Hi Thekebie,

Take a look on VibeHosting.com - we have a 50MB space, 5GB transfer account, cPanel control panel (arguably the best) and all of its features for $3.95 a month.

We try to make ourselves available as much as possible, we also have a 30 day money back guarantee, but I'm sure she won't be disapointed.

You can also contact me for custom deals.

I think he only needs 1 web hosting account.

You shoulda just checked your ISP. I use AOL and Roadrunner for all my hotlinking needs.

Yeah she used to hotlink with her old ISP account, which is what I do. But she didn't like the fact her new internet (which is a badass 10Mbps fiber optic connection) would list directories if there was no index file as some stupid security measure. They wouldn't even do it after I phoned saying it would have to be server wide to change it.

Dreamhost is what you need, cheap virtual hosting, always up and fast, with small plans.

Do they have AllowOverrides turned on in Apache so that you can use Options -Indexes in her .htaccess file to turn the auto directory indexing off? or is her ISP even using Apache/unix servers?

try this in an .htaccess file:

Options -Indexes
