A2 Hosting is a reputable web host whose entry level offering has a low price tag ($2.97/month) and a competitive feature set – minus a free domain, which is offered by many hosts in this price range. If you already have a domain in mind, or want to register your domain elsewhere with a dedicated registrar, A2 Hosting is worth a good look.
