Hey guys,
So I am going to help a friend set up the website for his non-profit org that he is starting up. I want to get a .org site (the one I am looking at is available) and get cheap hosting. Any suggestions? Requirements I am looking for is email addresses (that I can at least forward for now), and very cheap as we don't know how well this project will take off. I have been looking at GoDaddy's economy hosting, but wanted some opinions.

GoDaddy is generally my goto provider... they have a good package with relatively good customer support... they'll give you shell access (if you need it)... unless you find an amazing deal elsewhere... i'd go for GoDaddy

I'll never go back to godaddy hosting, I've seen free hosts with better reliability.
For real cheap and easy hosting, I'd probably use 1&1, and for domain registration I'd take godaddy.

at the least, godaddy for registration. I haven't had any connectivity problems from them, but I hardly ever access my site.

Also, in the meantime is there any semi-decent free web host to at least get a place holder up? | |

Been with GoDaddy a few years now. Never had a problem and I have a dozen sites with them. GoDaddy will give you free hosting for one domain if you register with them.

Hmm.. how long is the free hosting? As long as I renew the registration? or only a month or a year? | |

Awesome, got it all set up... Just did a 5 minute template job for now, but the curious can check it out at Lodging - Home Page
though my ISP is using an old cache of it and I can't view it yet :-( | |
