So how cheap is cheap (by today's standard)? Quick answer: Below $ 5 / mo, with adequate features. By adequate features, I mean hosting services that come with features that match current market standard. The standards may change from time to time (for example years ago a $ 5 / mo hosting deal can get you only 6 addon domains, 5GB storage, and 10GB data transfer; now everything goes unlimited). At this time of writing, a standard cheap hosting deal should at least cover sufficient power to host at least 50 - 100 not-so-active domains with basic web statistics support, email and web mail services, auto script installations, updated PHP and MySQL , basic after-sale technical support, and at least 99.8% server uptime. It would be a plus if the host can provide regular server backup, periodic malware scanning, and additional dedicated IP as well as private SSL certifications; but honestly you really can not ask for too much with a host cheaper than your coffee.
