    I think the company is Dreamhost - https://www.dreamhost.com

    yep - it's dreamhost.com

    if you try using it, it says:
    New Charge: $119.40 (1 year of L1.) - $110.16 (777 "7th Anniversary Promotion!") Due Now: $9.24


    But it's not exactly clear on what or when you'll be billed next.

    I've had a quick look and they do have some not bad reviews. But when it comes to hosting it's usually the case that if it's too good to be true...

    @ DlStreamnet - did you sign up with the code? Any idea when you'll be charged again and how much?

    after the $10 you can see in your account you do not get charged again until next year. they email you a week befroe telling you about charges and thats when you cancel and resign up, or pay the full price.

    I had a year with dreamhost with the special offer.
    Used code 777, cost me something ridiculous like £10 for a year!

    Brilliant hosting, too.

    I'm now with streamline.net and their customer service is AWFUL.
    I've finished a free trial (which i didn't get the full 3 months of) and now in a hosting deal, can i cancel for a free refund as it's an awful company.

    Fasthosts looks good - how much bandwidth do you get? And does the windows deal mean that you can't use it with a mac? I'm a bit confused about that

    If you look on their website

    http://www.dreamhost.com/shared/comparison.html

    you will see that you have to sign up for 2 years and pay upfront to get $7.95 per month, thats is not far short of fasthosts which does not have a 2 year contract to get the lowest price.


    Also their 24hour support is e-mail, fasthosts is human !.
