You may wish to take a wonder over too www.hosthideout.com, some really wonderful web hosting companies "hideout" over there.
I'd rather not point a finger in which direction you should go, as there are many more downs than up with web-hosts that offer such large services for so little.
It looks like your current host has packages starting around $6 for over 200GB in space and 2000GB in traffic, maybe have a talk with the sales/billing department over there.
I am shocked they would raise your rates while almost all computer related services have been decreasing in total cost.
I am currently with Surpass Hosting, and have been since 2004. I thought I was grandfathered in with their old plans (very limited, but very cheap). Now, they're jacking up my rate, but not increasing benefits (increased to $5/mo, with 2GB storage... yes, that's right)
I have no e-commerce needs. I don't need any beginner web template stuff, but reasonable content manager interface (Surpass had CPanel). I like using my own FTP program, but am not an expert web developer. I don't need HUGE storage (20-50 GB - though it seems like a lot of them offer hundreds of GB in their basic packages which stuns me since I've been stuck at 2GB for years). ASP hosting is a plus, since that's what I'm learning, but I don't see many of those out there.
Just a good, reliable site with GOOD CUSTOMER service that I can call on the phone instead of playing e-mail tag. Also, I want to keep it under $5 per month ($4 would be nice).
That's a lot of stuff, and thanks for your patience, but I really need help. I'm having trouble figuring out which of these web hosting "review" sites are real or bogus and just ads in disguise.
