Okay, Im going to be placing my graphics design site on the web. I was using freewebz but they had a pollicy (which they did not mention in their "read me") that allows you to only upload max 50 files onto your free website. Now I have to pay them. This is not accept able for me and I can get better hosting else where (which you will see). Anyways, Ive spent long hours on the web searching for a good decent webhost (that support MySQL and PHP 4.2.3) and heres what I have found:

lowcostwebhosting.ca
Unfortunatly I cannot connect to their homepage, and it was a decent canadian webhosting service too. Their site might be back up, however, so I decided to post their specs.

Annual Fee $107.50(CND)
Setup Fee Free
Data Transfer 5000MB (5GB)
Disk Space 125MB
FTP Accounts Unlimited
Sub Domains Unlimited
MySQL 1
PHP 4.2.3 Support yes

www.gisol.com
An excellent webhost, prices are probably in USD but that ok for what I get. I may go for their $7.95/month plan or the $9.95/month plan only real difference is that most of the MySQL accounts and all that are nearly doubled.

Monthly Fee $7.95 - 90 days free ($23.85 value)
Setup Fee Free ($49 value)
Data Transfer 45GB
Disk Space 500MB
POP3 E-Mail Accounts Unlimited
FTP Accounts 2
Sub Domains 10
MySQL 5
PHP 4.2.3 Support yes
Custom Error Pages yes
Password Protected Directories yes

Then there is www.myqth.com
Basically I get all of the features above bit I get 30GB Data Transfer, 1 MySQL account, and PHP 4 support (I don't know what version).

Please tell me which one of these you think is better. I am going to stick with these ones, I am happy with them so I probably won't be interested in other Webhosts.

Thanks,

Research this website.. Search for those companies you listed and see what there track record is. Most of the time cheaper isn't better. It took me a month to decide what webhost I was gonna use when I moved The Ville.
