What is a good/cheap hosting service? I've looked into JustHost, FatCow, HostGator, and BlueHost but lots of reviews say that they've had problems.
I've managed to get FatCow and JustHost down to $40/year using multiple coupons, does anyone have honest reviews of these companies? Or if you have another host suggestion, please post it (less than $6/mo with unlimited data/bandwidth & included domain.

This does not exist, it's called overselling and yes they will shut you down if you go hog fucking wild, despite what your plan says.

I don't plan on doing that though, does anyone have any comments on the hosts I listed? I've read a lot of reviews saying that they're the best hosts evar and a lot saying that they're scams that charge your credit card with lots of stuff.

JustHost was by far the best host I had ever used!
I didn't pay for the 2 months then they asked me to and I said I would like to cancel my account and they offered me seven months free hosting not counting the months I didn't pay!
Also there support was outstanding!
Not to mention I had used 4 TB so I'm assuming its unlimited...

| Dreamhost is really good, but they're about 9 bucks a month (Though they've got boatloads of coupons, so you could probably knock that down.).

I have personally used HostGator's shared hosting. Their datacentre is in Dallas, Texas, USA, so the speeds I get are very fast as I live in Plano, Texas. Download 12 mbps/upload 2.5 mbps (my maximum.) But I also pay 2 USD a month for a dedicated IP address. They plan on getting UK IPs in the future.
Other hosts I have used for Virtual Private Server (VPS) plans: Santrex (NL and US) and W4Networks/Burst Networks (AU and US).
Note: Australian Internet is slow, their bandwidth is expensive, and offshore speeds are even slower. Don't host in Australia unless you have a purely Australian audience. You should also ask for a speedtest file or script on any server you may be interested in running your site on. I made this mistake with a server in the Netherlads, where my ISP could hardly manage a reasonable or even stable speed with the server, yet others could connect to it just fine.
HostGator recently started VPS plans, starting at 19 USD a month: http://www.hostgator.com/vps-hosting/

Just host is free.. You just have to pay one month and you get like 10 free months free.

60% of reviews I've read have said they're a scam
Does anyone know what hosting DarkByte uses?
000WebHost doesn't allow hacking discussion, so I probably won't use them (unless they let paid hosts discuss this(just game hacking))

He currently has a DEDICATED SERVER with iWeb (www.iweb.com)
I don't think you can afford them
