Cheapest is not always best. Consider the speed of the host, service offered when there are problems and, most important, downtime and reliability. Get recommends from people who have used the host. If all you consider is the cheapest cost you are almost certainly in for a rough ride.

There is a whole forum devoted to web hosting issues on Devnet. You should look through the posts there, as there are many references.

I have been hosting half a dozen sites on Bluefur http://www.bluefur.com/, and have been very happy with them. Their cost has gone up a little due to exchange rates (they are Canadian), but I consider them worth it. Their service is outstanding.

Whatever you do...

DON'T USE 3IX!!!!

I've had 3 sites on there and every one becomes a spamming site even if I haven't even got any content on there.
I looked for reviews and it seems everyone has this problem and some people even think that it's a scam they're running on their server themselves.
Cheapest I've found but not worth a penny.
When I asked their customer services they told me to p*ss off to another host.

Steer well clear.


Edit:

Also, judging by the markspixel's layout issues alone, I'd steer well clear. Especially as they claim 'Advanced Web Design'. Smacks of a cowboy company.
