    oh i forgot to mention.. i need one where i can set up an online store because that's mainly what i'm setting up for.. i want to do an online business

    i was looking at godaddy.com and it seems good because they offer one and allow me to take credit card and paypal payments without registering for it

    i guess i'll change my new budget to about $500 a year if anyone knows of great packages.. i'll be sure to check out the recent ones some of you posted

    The only reason to go with Windows is if you have a requirement for MS SQL or have to use ASP under a native environment, other than that a Windows is often less secure, less robust and much more expensive (usually). Linux on the other hand is free and can come loaded with all manor of things.

    Your problem will be getting all you want for less < $100 (at least when converting that to ~ GBP £70). I'm with www.register1.net whom I'd heartily recommend and will do everything you need, well, for around £105 for 2 years (very good deal). The only issue is thats its a UK company with hosts in the London Docklands - if your market is US, best to use a US host. I would however seriously consider them as support is first rate and the speed over here is fantastic. If you do want to consider them, email jamie at serverstream.com (replace " at " with @) and tell him docevi1 sent you and he'll sort you out with any details you need (Serverstream runs register1 in case you wondered).
