Hmm. The service I use for terjemar.net costs $7/month, or $72/year.
It's jvds.com, and I have a basic shared host account. It comes with
lots of bandwidth and disk space and is linux based. Brinkster.com,
which hosts a MS based website for me and a friend, offers sites for
as low as $4.95/month, and they now claim to support linux, too. I
recommend either.
