There are cheaper and better hosts out there.
Our website actually costs me, actually my business M-Pute, about $109 a month But this is because I am connected to an sDSL line (guaranteed speed) and I run my own webserver and 4+ websites. Unlimited bandwidth and about 1TB of storage.

To me anyone in FIRST should work through SEVAA. Its free to any FIRST team and there wouldn't be any paperwork to get approved and any country should be able to log into their servers to update the team's website.
