Looking for a webhost... cheap and long term

[Mattiekrome]

3-4 years ago I purchased a 5 year unlimited web host package on eBay. Total cost was only like 75$ or something. I ended up letting my domain name lapse, and had a pretty hard time getting any support on their end. I tried to change my domain name and use up the remainder of my 5 year package, but couldn't get anyone to talk to me.

Lately I've been looking into hosts again (same type package), but it appears that eBay no longer allows the sale of web hosting. I then took to Google to see what I could find, and it looks like the prices have went up a lot since the last time I had a website. I don't know if I'm looking at the right places or if I'm missing all the cheap "section 8" options.

I'm also looking for an email account to do with the domain. I currently use AOL, but ever since HuffPo bought them a while back, I no longer like it.

Things I'm looking for:

- Long term, paid up front... 5 years preferably

- 1 GB bandwidth + per month

- Email address

- Cheap!

- Support is of lesser importance

Am I just missing all of the cheap options that used to be all over the place a few years ago?
