	What do you plan to host?

	Google App Engine may serve you...

	If you have little requirements, consider Nearly Free Speech. They're
*very* cheap if you don't really do much with it, and since they are
technically getting paid for it, they guarantee good service. I've heard
it recommended very often.

	From their FAQ:

"""How much does the average site really cost?

During the month of July, 2008:

    * 27% of our members incurred no hosting costs at all.
    * 53% of our members incurred hosting costs totaling between $0.01
and $1.00, inclusive.
    * The bandwidth cost of the average site was $0.10.
    * The storage cost of the average site was $0.29.
    * The average member had 2.2 web sites hosted with us. (But none of
our members are average!)

("Hosting costs" include charges for bandwidth, storage, and MySQL.)

For the bandwidth and storage averages, the top 1% consume a very
disproportionate amount; if they are excluded, the average falls to
$0.02 for bandwidth and $0.09 for storage."""

	Bandwidth is relatively cheap with them, but storage isn't. However, if
you want more storage, I suggest using NearlyFreeSpeech in conjunction
with Amazon S3, which provides gobs of really cheap space.
