I am looking for a good, (extremely affordable) web hosting WITH flash website? ?

I am an artist who wants to show off her work, maybe make a few new clients. I want something like "sitecube" but I can not afford them right now.

I am extremely fond of FLASH! I want it with out buying "Dream Weaver" or "Coffee Cup". Times are tough.

Anyone have any good ideas? I have been hunting online all day.

THANKS!
Thank You for your idea, but, I do NOT want to down load programs illegally.

I just want to find a web hosting company with flash taht does not cost over $200 a year.

I am poor… BUT HONEST! Or at least I am trying.

Thanks for the idea though.

As for flash, hosting services supply web space and scripting, you can’t really use a hosting service to generate flash apps.

However as for hosting, I recommend and personally use:

http://www.hostmonsterplus.com

They have unlimited space and transfer.
They give you a free domain for life.
They have php and mysql if you ever use those.
You can also add as many domains (.com, .net, …) as you like so you can have many different sites for 1 hosting price.
They also give you free $50 Google Credits for advertising your site.

If you go with them and have any trouble making your site feel free to PM me, I have a lot of experience there.

Whatever you choose, the best luck to you.

    There is very high competition in the hosting industry so standard hosting packages are relatively low cost. Running "flash" on a hosting package is not an issue.

    Now, as for website design, personally unless you know flash very well or are willing to pay for a professional flash design I would leave it alone. Flash is slow loading, resource intensive, and quite honestly just not very good from a "viewers" perspective. You will find the majority of users loath flash websites.

    If you’re goal is to show a gallery of your artwork & you want to keep your costs low my suggestion would be to use a CMS and get yourself a decent template. This would give you all the tools you would need business wise and a pretty easy administration back end.
    I prefer to use Joomla CMS and it’s quite easy to find templates at low cost. Joomlart.com is a well done and if I recall have a template designed for an artist gallery.

    Hosting plans are fairly cost effective because of all the competition. What you really want is cost effective and reliable. I personally use lunar on over 5 sites now for over two years and never have had an issue.

    For an artist’s site it’s better not to use flash at all.

    you don’t want anything to distract form your art .

    a lot of people hate flash also.

    remember it takes longer to load a flash site than a regular one.

    it’s more important that people see your work ,right?

    here’s a list of really good hosts you can get the deal you want at for much less tham $200 dollars a year .

    good luck!

    There are many web hosts that will allow you to host Flash files for less than $200 per year.

    If you are having problem choosing a web hosting to use, I suggest you do the following:

    1. Go to the webhost review sites and list down about 3 common top hosting companies.

    2. Next, for each web hosting X, do a “X sucks” search on Google. Read some complaints and see if you may encounter the same problems like them. Some of the complaints may relate to certain groups of users only such as VPS, dedicated server users or resellers. So you may not be affected if you are not from these categories.

    3. Eliminate those hostings you feel uncomfortable with, and look for the best bargain hosting for your money.

    Fatcow, Justhost and Webfaction (you can even pay monthly with Webfaction) are some of the cheap good ones where you can host Flash files. Good luck.
