short term web hosting, preferably cheap too.

My sister-in-law is in charge of a dog rescue site. Administering it is a nightmare and it looks very 1996. I'd like to see if i could set up a wordpress blog that would look more modern and be easier to manage.

I'd like to get hosting for a limited time so I can try it out for her but not get locked into a contract or need to pay for a whole year of hosting that won't be used. Does anyone know of any legit hosting services that would fit my needs?

Thanks

I use Doreo on a monthly payment plan that costs me $6.99 a month. I'm very happy with their hosting and customer service. They also have a good rating with the Better Business Bureau. Something I always look for. It'll be worth your time to check them out. Here's a link www.doreo.com/?a_aid=61e8966e&a_bid=19abc6d3

HostGator

I recommend hostgator if your looking to pay month to month or quarterly. They always have coupons and http://www.castironhostingreview.com seems to have the up to date ones. Wordpress can be setup through fantastico in the cpanel or by downloading the source files and setting it up manually.
