ASP.NET cheap web host

I am looking for a cheap web host that is reliable and supports .NET/ASP.NET web applications.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?

I already have linux hosted webspace on a HUGELY reliable company with excellent technical support. I pay only $1 per month (sh3lls.net) and have never had any problems with them.
Unfortunately however, they do not support ASP.NET.

Does anyone know any small hosting places like this that are almost as cheap? SQL server 2005 support would also be beneficial, but is not essential.
Thanks.

p.s.) I really don't think this should cost more than $3 per month (cheapest plan in terms of monthyl bandwidth and disk space usage).

    They aren't cheap...
    They charge per month, almost DOUBLE what I pay each year for my linux hosting. Surely there must be better....
    In order to use ASP.NET with 1and1 I must go for a 1&1 business pacakge.
    Forgetting the quidco cashback, that is £9.39 per month. Quidco £35 cashback wont make much of a dent.

    Again, I pay less than this each YEAR for my other web host. This is not cheap... far from it.

    Any more useful suggestions? Again, I am looking for something less than $3 per month. Please read my post and keep the price range in mind.
    1and1 completely rip off their customers. There are plenty of sites hosted in cheaper countries (such as India) that provide excellent technical support (on a personal level) through IRC, or MSN Messenger etc. This is the kind of thing I am looking for... the type most people would NOT have heard of.

    Godaddy.com has a minimum charge of $6.99 p/m for ASP.NET 1.1/2.0 support.
    Can anyone better that? It is still a big difference really compared to the $1 im used to.

    Dataflame would have been my suggestion. I think you'll be hard pushed to find someone that cheap that'll offer SQL Server 2005.

    I'm currently with https://www.discountasp.net. They're very good hosts, lots of features and a decent web-admin tool. I think I only paid $60 for the whole year as I found a voucher code online, so got the standard 3 free months, plus another 3 free months with the voucher.
