[url] http://www.sitemount.com [/url]
I like their linux “Personal” plan: 1GB of space, unlimited e-mails and subdomains, with Plesk Control Panel and all other stuff. And it’s cheap, just 6.95$/month.
Guys, what do you think about this host? I'm kind of new to actually setting up the web space, so I'd appreciate any advice. :) Thanks"

I have had a couple of bad experiences with free or extremely low cost hosting where there was a problem and my site was down for over 24 hours more than once and with no notice. If you are paying for the service the person providing the service is more likely to help you out."

I'm a customer of sitemount and i very much like Plesk. Sitemount is a very good hoster with a view gib BUT:
-It's now more than 3 weeks that I do not receive any life-sign of the support, although I have severe open issues. I tried getting replies from their support/sales under another email but nothing. They seem to have diappeared.
-IMAPs works fine but: The maximal simultaneous connections allowed are 4 per IP or less. Now imagina having a NAT and 4 PC connecting to the same IMAP server...
I've sent the conf file and how to increase the connections but as written above. no reply.
-I use sSMTP on port 465, a very good solution for sending mails from corporate networks. There is a bug they cannot solve: It takes from 20 to 200 seconds if at all the email is sent.
I also use bluehost.com, a very interesting hoster but unfortunately not with plesk but the chaotic cpanel.
Plesk is wonderful, you get vhosts for all of your domains and they are really individually set up, not as in cpanel.
You can limit the bandwidth or disk space per domain (vhosts) and much more.
The biggest disadvantage in bluehost is that they do not scan emails for viruses.
The biggest advantage is the very good support.
