Web Hosting

My little brother was asking me about starting a business web site for his business, he does RV repairs.
What should he look for in a web host and ball park how much might it cost?

There are two things to look out for - the actual server space, and the address domain. The former should cost about 10 USD per month and the latter about 10 USD per year. So give or take, about 10 USD. As for how much space, if it's strictly RV homepage, I'd say 500MB or under should do more than well. My friend, who used to own wciii.com, used PowWeb - he said he liked it. I'd suggest a look there.

For the domain name, check out www.GoDaddy.com , low prices and excellent service, never had a problem with them.

GoDaddy also offers good hosting, have been using it for awhile and have yet to have any problems.

I've used a lot of different web hosts, and by far, the best one I've found (in this price range) is http://www.crystaltech.com . They are really very professional and offer very good plans. I avoid godaddy because I have had experiences with some of their customers who were doing very unethical things, and godaddy refused to do anything about it.
