classic example of getting what you pay for. Avoid them at all costs. Seriously.

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I'd recommend dreamhost, hands
down. I've worked with several hosting providers over the past 6+ years... and
I vote for dreamhost. <a href="http://dreamhost.com/">http://dreamhost.com/</a>
- they're in LA, they rock, they give you SSH, tons of space and bandwidth. Use
this promo code: <b>NOSIGNUPFEEAH </b>- and you won't have to pay the setup fee
on the basic plan (purchase monthly). Read their unique blog here: <a
href="http://blog.dreamhost.com/">http://blog.dreamhost.com/</a>. Enjoy :)<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>How small? I've found one that is completely free, but
has fairly low<br>
limits (250 meg for your site, maybe a gig per month traffic...)<br>
response time is so-so from the site (I've set up a Joomla site there to<br>
show someone how it looks, and it takes some time to get pages rendered)<br>
I think their target audience is developers who are creating "open<br>
social" apps [facebook, myspace, google gadgets, etc]<o:p></o:p></p>
