The hostess with the mostest
Dear internet,
Until very recently, I had been sipping the luxurious nectar of a 1 gigabit, unlimited bandwidth hosting service, provided completely for free for me as a student of the University of Washington. This week their tech department caught up with the registrars office and has cut me off. No more movies. No more banners. The hubs, completely unbeknownst to him, is currently hosting my banner, but he has a seriously limited amount of web space and will need it back very very soon for real-life things, like big ol' files and course websites and other things he gets paid to do.
Because I have been living la vida estudiante for my entire web existence, I know absolutely nothing about how to choose from the myriad web hosting services available. How much space will I need? How large of a bandwidth? How much will this all set me back? What I do know is that there are several lovely people who read this blog and are experts in this arena, or at least have a modicum of real-world experience. You there! I am begging for your advice. Help a poor girl who has been abandoned by the web, won't you?

I just let Leslie pick my webhost... and so far, so good. eleven2.com... it's cheap enough that I don't even really notice I pay for it. LOL! Lots of space, no downtime. Love them!
Um, yeah. I can't help with this at all. That's what I have a hubby for!
Hmmm. You could go my route. No cable, no internet. I'm telling you, it's the way to go!
Hi Kurtie! I didn't know you were a reader! Especially since you apparently live in internet no-man's land. Is such a life really worth living?
If you ever want to say hi, you can drop me a line at claire.oneal@gmail.com
I use esosoft for hosting-- no bandwidth limitations at all. www.esosoft.com
