Somewhere legitimate
I've been warned about a few scamming sites. I've been googling but there's no way I will be able to tell unless I ask people who have had experience with hosters so, please post away I need all the help I can get =) other details: I need to make it a .com or .net and it needs to be affordable to a struggling college student |

Would you mind telling me if they allow you to edit it yourself? as in put your own coding in...flash, CSS, HTML.. etc. and have full access to editing every part of your website? I'd love to hear back from you |

From the plans page: "We stand by our quality by offering a full 30 day money back guarantee on all plans. In addition, if you ever wish to cancel after this time, we will fully refund any hosting payment made within the last 30 days."

I'm running my own server at home, but if I had to choose, I would probably go with 000webhost. I used to use their $5 a month plan, and shit worked great. Plenty of features, and unlimited bandwidth and disk space. Plus it comes with a free .com domain.
