How much do you people pay for hosting? I have my website on Dreamhost and it is about to renew for $120. I know that's only $12/mo, but I was wondering if there were cheaper options out there.
Also I have Google apps for my email. If I switch hosts, would I loose anything?

A friend is with brinkster - he forwarded me their renewal invoice for the year. shit was expensive anyway, but I couldn't help but smirk at the additional $0.57 a month 'wind energy' fee.

Maybe $75 a year with webhostingbuzz.com on a plan I've had for years - long enough to keep that plan even though they've changed terms and prices have gone up. Unlimited everything - storage, traffic, subdomains, etc. CPanel, easy WP installs.
With unlimited storage, I keep wondering why I'm using Dropbox. Or, why I'm not backing up stuff to that server regularly.

BEWARE! saving lunch money $ on webhosting when you have to invest TIME in moving stuff and dealing with RANDOM SHIT GOING WRONG may not be a good idea....
also, beware that some cheaper hosts are fine for low-volume, low RAM usage, but fall apart with higher usage....
- < this. You look like a hack when your site doesn't come up. Spend an appropriate amount of money.monNom

- Yeah, I'm learning this lesson. LunarPages is fucking slow, but cheap.Continuity

it used to be 109 right? now it's 120? factor in the pain of moving your stuff around. like.. how much time will it take. may be worth it to just stay. (i don't work for them, just thinking logically)
