Dirt cheap web hosting for my portfolio?
Monday, May 12th, 2008 - 3:56pm
So I want to put my 3D portfolio up again but I really don't want to spend a lot of money doing it. It is really going to be up there for easy access to my work, for job interviews and showing off 
.
Anyway, I came across doteasy.com and they have $0 hosting. The problem is that it is only 100mb. Thats a little to small so does anyone know a dirt cheap or free hosting site? It can go as low as 200mb since I know how to compress the movies pretty well. 100mb is not giving me much room to add more to the site.
Again, it's only a portfolio site so I don't expect to have people on there all the time using all my monthly bandwidth.
Thanks!
Thanks for standin' still!

Given how many people just toss around GoDaddy Coupons, you can get a lot of storage for under 50 bucks a year. Coupled with stupid easy ways to install the most popular and useful tools, Wordpress, Joomla, PhPNuke, etc.
Your problem is that you need to be hosting and moving a lot of very big packets, in the form of high res images. Steer clear of the pay as you go clients like Nearly Free Speech. If you end up getting a lot of hits on your portfolio after a convention or something, you will be screwed.
I guess it depends on what you have in mind for cheap, for a few years I used Ace Host and had no complaints (especially on price).
It looks like they've made what was their 'special' deal that looked like it would expire everyday (but would just reappear) is now their only hosting plan.
If you buy it for a year you pay 12$ and change per month with it going down slightly for each year you book for.
I'm now on A Small Orange.
Do you ever walk alone like a drifter in the dark?
There has been a big thread on Anandtech about http://www.cookiehosting.com/. Seems pretty cheap and lots of storage. I'm moving from Netfirms and right now, cookiehosting is probably my top choice.
