I've been paying GoDaddy around $110/year to host my website running MX but it's just too much now. I've been looking into other hosting companies but one I contacted yesterday said they likely couldn't host mine because they said their Linux servers likely wouldn't play well with my Windows based site. First of all, is $110 a reasonable and expected annual cost for hosting a very basic website? Seems like there are less expensive options out there. Can anyone suggest any and is it easy to transfer my domain as well?
Thanks,
Mike

Re: Website Hosting question
Not knowing where you are it's difficult but I think that's a bit high. Here in th UK I use Krystal and it's about £50 a year (UK Pounds).

Re: Website Hosting question
I pay £144 a year for mine, but I also use my hosting for various other things, including a gallery. It's running on some pretty decent hardware, and everything is unlimited.

Re: Website Hosting question
I’ve been using HostPresto for several years now and they’ve been great. I pay around 26GBP per annum. Here’s their packages. UK-based.

Re: Website Hosting question
Thanks for responses. Mine does seem high compared to those. I'm in the US.
