Well can anyone suggest anything better?
250 MB is not enough space considering the forum/CMS software can take anywheres between 2 or 3 - 5 or 15 MB. Then you have to account for the database itself as well as attachments. GE's database I believe with attachments eats up a little over a gig by checking the ACP.
1 - 3 gigs is what I need, even if they had a small or medium sized ad banner at the top, that would suffice.
A lot of these hosts use this stupid control panel software which makes me unable to upload certain mods or files since it spits a filetype is not allowed error back. Also they disable PHP Sendmail so if I am running a forum, users won't be able to activate their registration because the conformation email would never arrive.
Honestly if I had the money right now I'd pay for hosting, but since I don't I'm stuck with a pretty limited amount of.
Also if I could host it on my computer I would do that as well, but unfortunately I am unable to on satellite internet not just because of bandwidth restrictions but because of the fact my PC isn't accessible externally through the internet from a remote location because of the absence of a static ip and the fact everything through satellite is very heavily Nat's or routed and I'm on a shared ip with other subscribers.
