needed a web host

Our not for profit organization has a new web address; "MediationWorks.info".
Did you know there was a new identifier? Anyway we have the name, now we need
a good and cheep host. Any sugestions?

I plan to try to post my most recent newsletter as an experiment and plan to use the html
program that comes with AppleWorks 6.0. Is there a better cheep alternative? (I don't want
to pay for one of those expensive programs). Are there some other cheep but good enough
alternatives? Does Microsoft include a html program in "Office"?

If you can suggest a web host, do you know what they cost per month? And, what services
are included and finally what services do I need?

Thanks For your help

Rowland

I am currently using AffordableHOST. I'm paying $45 a year, but they have starter plans for $20 a year (cheapest I have seen). Recently, their upstream provider (SprintLink) has been giving them some problems (slowness and outages), but they are moving to a new datacenter soon, so the problems will be gone. AH gives you all the standard Linux hosting services (FTP, POP & SMTP, CGI, SSI, PHP, mySQL, etc.)

I'm not too familiar with the AppleWorks and Office HTML creators, but the AppleWorks creator is probably very simple, just like Apple's other products. I usually code my pages myself, and if I can't figure something out I use Adobe GoLive.

I'm on ReadyHosting and I'm pretty happy with them. The offer quite a bit for a good price, though they're not perfect.
