They do have good prices, but I've read many reviews on other websites which say that they have very poor support and lots of downtime. See, I was originally going to purchase hosting from Globat for MetCoverArt.com and SpawnOfCthulhu.com, but decided not to after reading the reviews. Anyway, it worked out for the best because Metpage's hosting is very good and the prices are really cheap, plus the money goes to keeping Metpage's server online.

Not that I'm trying to be a fan boy or advertise for Metpage :P , but I have used other hosting services before and none of them are as good as Metpage. I recommend everyone to Metpage, and currently maintain several different wesbites using Metpage hosting:

http://www.bootlegcoverart.com
http://www.metcoverart.com
http://spawn.metpage.org
http://www.lescima.com
http://www.allmanfarms.com
http://www.knowclothing.com
http://www.hartleyfarms.net
http://www.bdiamondlimo.com

and soon http://www.skidrowlive.com as well.

Additionally, Globat's lowest price is $6.95 per month for 100 MBs of space, whereas Metpage has two low-cost packages: 50 MBs for $1 per month, or 100 MBs for $5 per month (includes other features as well).

Anyway, if you're interested, you can check out the hosting packages here:

It depends what else in addition to your website you will be hosting and how much space and bandwidth you'll need along with any additional features.

I pay $9.95 a month for my hosting at http://www.1and1.com

My package is no longer offered but its almost identical to their Developer package.

If you are going to look elsewhere (beside Metpage's Hosting Packages), here is another good host. Singe moved Metlists to these guys on Leglessmoof's recommendation. He even got a discount on the 1st year because Moof made a referral. Singe is pretty happy with them: http://www.dreamhost.com/
