Almost all web sites use less then 1GB of storage, most less then 100MB (What are you planing to do with that much storage space?), so 25GB is about as many as 20 or so web sites. Also - with so much storage you probably intend to use a lot of bandwidth, and that might also be a problem. <shameless plug> If you'll spring for a new harddrive for one of my systems (one time expenditure), I'll be willing to offer a generous hosting proposal ;-) </shameless plug> > Using hosting services outside of Israel I can > find shared hosting packages as described below for $5 - $10 per month. I really doubt this statement is correct, considering the above limitations and that outside Israel its very common to charge for bandwidth usage (though I'd be more then happy if you can prove me wrong and provide references: maybe I want to host there ;-). One of the cheapest hosting sites I know - nearlyfreespeech.net - will charge you for the storage alone $25 per month, and if we assume 1GB bandwidth usage per month (which sounds very low for a 25GB web site), you'd pay additional $10 per month. Still not $100, but much closer then the costs you quote above. -- Oded ::.. Instructions for life: 14.
