I just went through a search myself. There are lots of cheap plans for shared hosting, but I would consider a VPS now the prices are dropping. Especially as a developer it offers more flexibility and security. > 5) Support for ASP (not ASP.Net); obviously, this requires a Windows server Linux servers run ASP too AFAIK because I played with ASP about 9 years ago on one when my ISP sent me a script for something. They only ran Linux, and later BSD. Apache has an ASP module, I think. Linux offers better security. I don't know whether it supports all ASP, you'll need to research that. e.g. http://www.apache-asp.org/install.html > 7) The ability to install apps of my choice You might want to look into a VPS in that case. The company I just moved to has servers in the US and UK. I've only been with them 2 months on shared hosting, but I plan to move to a VPS with them. I have found a VPS as low as $6 (in Europe) if you manage it entirely yourself. I am just testing one for $10 with 2.5GB and a control panel, it's unmanaged though (i.e. must monitor and reboot yourself for that price). Gives you root access so you can install stuff yourself. You can reboot it yourself through HyperVM. I am going to get a managed VPS plan and pay the extra for them to take care of the server being accessible, so I don't have to monitor it and reboot myself. Then a low cost one I manage myself as backup and for testing. I don't want to be dependent on one hoster anymore. I didn't want to advertise names here, but I can email links by private mail.
