Hey guys

Im looking at a few "cheap" hosting options for a website i'd like to setup. This would be mainly used for R&D purposes. So i need the basics plus probably 1 MySQL database.
So far, i've narrowed it down to 2... AfriHost's Gold Home package and Elite Host's Unlimited Plus package.
Please advise...

i have a R29pm account (bronze) at afrihost for one client who has a windows written site [aspx] (our other clients run on linux servers at hetzner) ; the afrihost account seems fine. otherwise hetzner is good

PS: just dont use any free sh@t that you find, there is a reason why is is free

Hi Gnomez,

Our local Unlimited or Unlimited Plus package would be perfect for your needs, they both offer unlimited storage, traffic, mailboxes and databases. I can guarantee that you will be satisfied by our service. Please let me know if you have any questions and I'd be happy to assist.

Get yourself an amazon ec2 instance for R&D. When you are not using it you can just stop the instance and you can basically do whatever you like on the VM. Cheap too.
