Hi friends,
I need your advice on deciding the hosing company for my
website,i searched Google for hosting services but found
too many to decide which one to choose.So i need your advice
in deciding hosting service.
My website has about 20 pages, I need about 50MB space
but it should have all the capabilities like good
bandwidth,uptime of 99% ,cgi forms handling ,custom 404 page
some 4-5 email accounts with spam protection,and some database
support to collect user information.

Secondly can u tell me how can i write my own cgi script for form
handling.
Please kindly keep budget around $60/year
Your suggestions will be greatly welcomed
Regards

For hosting, I strongly recommend DR2.net (http://www.dr2.net/). They have been very good for me :)

To write your own CGI scripts, you will need to learn CGI, of course. However, since you don't know it already, I would recommend learning one of the newer server-side technologies, such as PHP or ASP/.NET.

You should look at http://www.thelist.com

As far as your own CGI script for forms your wasting your time. Most decent hosts have this as an option for you already.

I also doubt any host would advertise anything less than a 99.9% uptime.

Just to clarify, ASP/ASP.NET will also receive data from a form. You will only need one of the server side languages though.

You could check out Nevidia. (http://www.nevidia.com/v3/compare.asp?plan=personal) They seem to meet your requirements and I know one member here recommends them.
