Hi, I have been using the Kiwi Web Hosting Company: http://kiwiwebhost.co.nz/ Their $1/week plan is exactly that, $52 for a year of hosting, with 10Mb web space and 5 mail addresses. They will host your account on Linux by request and you get access to Python and other goodies. They fail periodically, but they do update their 'service status' page with timely information, and their technical support is swift. They also register domains for you, so for about $100 you can get a .nz domain and hosting. Best wishes, Andrew PS I'm going to check the other recommendations, in case there's something better for me, but I'm happy with what I have for now.
