Nearlyfreespeech.net discounts large bandwidth usage
I've mentioned before my preferred hosting provider is http://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/, which by your usage, allowing small traffic websites to exist for basically less than a dollar a year. Now NFS has introduced a plan for higher-usage websites: previously, usage was $1 per Gigabyte of bandwidth used. This is still true for your first gigabyte. However, starting immediately upon completion of one gigabyte, the price starts going down logarithmically. A reloadable page displays in real time your changing bytes-per-penny pricing.
For almost all of my purposes, NFS has been suitable. I could pay a lot more for certain things, but I haven't found it to be worth it at this point in time. I'd rather continue to run my websites for the price of rifling through my couch cushions for spare change.

From the site:
FastCGI / SCGI (this is not applicable in our hosting environment, thus we do not offer it and programs written specifically to depend on its API will not work)
Re: (Score:2)
Does FastCGI basically start up a daemon process or something that keeps running in the background for new requests? Because I know they specifically don't allow server processes, daemon processes, or even just long-running processes, so that might be the issue.
