Website in the USA

The recent builds have me thinking about having a web page.

I read the wiki pages on websites that supports Cumulus. In the US, what would be my best place to go for an economical website hosting that supports Cumulus? I would probably do little more with it than display the Realtime Cumulus output.

I'm not in the USA, but I do use a US hosting service - NearlyFreeSpeech. A pay as you go/use service, you pay for storage and bandwidth, plus any additional features that you may want (like MySQL). I have had good service from them, prices are reasonable, system features good. Proper SSH access, SFTP, PHP (you can choose the version) etc. I find with my weather site that $5 goes a looong way (6 mths - 1 year). My astro site is a bit more expensive, but gets thousands more hits per month, and some software and PDF downloads etc.

I had not heard of a pay as you go site. Interesting.

Thanks

Check out seanic.com - this is the US host I use with great service and more than everything you will ever need. $46.99 a year - 10 GB storage and 6 GB a month - accounts mirrored to second server off site for emergency situations. Handles my live streaming webcam without issues.
