Hosting price: Nothing besides your ISP fee's.

Setup fee: I bought a Pentium 133 for $15.

Extra features:

Uhh...anything you really want

This is the hardcore, low-cost, insane hosting solution for teams with no money whatsoever. Find a kid on your team that has broadband and no major use for it...give him an old computer, and tell him he's the master of the web. There...you have a webpage.

(If you think I'm joking around...I'm really not. This seriously isn't a bad way to do it. It'll give a few of the kids a good idea of how a server actually works. It's also so freaking cheap! You also don't have to worry about going over your bandwidth limitations or sizes or anything like that. It's not a very bad idea at all...)
Ooh yes, this works great, all except for the fact that it is most likely completely violating your agreement with your ISP seeing as basically any home ISP specifically states that you may not host servers off of your connection.

I'm using this....

I've got no complaints.

I was just recently shown this really awesome webhost that was going to be recommended for a client, but unfortunately I lost the link. I'll see if I can find it again.
