I need one that has PHP and MySQL hosting...

Less than $10/month... Shared is fine...

I think I want phpBB, Gallery... FTP access...

Don't need email accounts... well.. maybe 5...

oh yes... I also need a .org domain name....

1 GB of space I guess.... 8GB transfer a month...

Don't care about setup fee...

Flexability:

Forum software (I'm open to suggestions), php (depends on forum and gallery), SQL (doesn't have to be MySQL and depends on forum and gallery)

Purpose:

My mother's Class of 1970 website.... for posting class reunion info, forum, photo gallery, and various other pages....


Considering:
GoDaddy.com
OLM.net

I need suggestions, thanks.

I've been dealing with J2O hosting for a while, so here are a few more options you might consider.

Hostpointe:
Our relationship with hostpointe has been good in the last 6 months. We have had some troubles in the past (ie no backup of our data and extended downtime) but for our needs no one can beat the prices and I believe it was an anomoly.

OC Hosting:
We were with them for a number of years and had very little trouble considering the size of J2O. In all respects, we are a large site for a shared server and after a while they essentially wanted to make us upgrade to a "semi-dedicated" server.

Hostrocket:
J2O has never been hosted here but my father's business website and my Aunt's handmade furniture website have been hosted here with very little to no trouble. However, it is also more like that problems would have simply not been caught since neither website receives traffic like J2O.

I use www.ace-host.net. Critics are not very good, but besides some start-up problems during the first months, I never had problems with it. Prices are very good and service too.
