My ISP has storage space from 50MB at $4.95 to 1GB at $19.95 a month, I would be uploading DVD covers 1MB to average 8MB (hires) to friends and to trade for friends. Once in a great while to put a image on this forum, does this price seem Okay to you?

you cant host pictures on Gmail, but you could send what you want to friends very easily... $20 a month is very expensive for only 1GB

http://freeservers.com/ has $18.50 a month for 1.5 MB and also has up to 5GB for bandwidth, e-mail, stats, ect...

for a limited time offer, they are offering $7.99/month for 1GB of space!

I've got a domain from fatcow.com, 500MB, 25GB/month transfer, 100 email accounts, $100/year. Had it for a couple of years, good uptime/tech support. Maybe not the best deal, but has been good for me

Wow my ISP is a bit pricey, do you really have to list it as fat cow.net
I wonder who named it that I have heard of tucows but not fat cow.

Gmail is under attack I read it on google that 30 firms already have tried to stop the flood of spam. yet on google they have pop up blocker, I am confused.

The reason I wanted my ISP is because it could go on the same bill and be taken out monthly from checking account as I have with my Electric company statement also.

Off topic I am sorry it didn't work out I did get a reasonable offer of $70, I am including the reinstallation disc and one of my DVD covers I print. He plans to use it on another computer than the 8600 that it came in. A great bargain from on sale price of $199.46 regularly $229+. The re- installation disc has the keys to register it in Versions 7 & 5.1 both LE, it will then be his unless he wants to sell it at some time in the future, it's a great combo recording drive.

no, I bought the domain name for my last name and set up a genealogy/family history site, www."lastname".com, and it's helped me find a bunch of distant relatives.


Deviant, that imhosted deal sounds pretty good, I'll have to check into that. tks
