With all due respect to Anna and her company (with which I've had no dealings
and upon whom I cannot therefore comment), I've always been less than amused
both with the prices charged and the service offered by most local hosting
firms.  I'm glad to see someone is slashing the prices; just make sure the
service levels are comparable to US firms!

As far as US hosting providers are concerned, I've had particularly pleasant
dealings in the past with CI Host (http://www.cihost.com) and Pair.com
(http://www.pair.com).  It's well worth digging through the pages of either
and seeing exactly what specials they're offering.  Both have extremely
flexible packages to allow you to buy just exactly what you need.

*cough*  Before I start sounding like an advertisement...  There are also a
number of sites which compare various hosting firms, e.g. hostindex.com,
hostglobal.com, hostcrawler.com, hostcompare.com, etc.
