Sometime ago, I have written a post about shared hosting price war ended . It is, however returned on 1st May 2008.  Some large hosting company like Hostmonster, IXWebhosting, StartLogic and Lunarpages are offering the basic plan as low as $4.95/month. 

To be qualify for this new low price, you have to sign-up for 2 years plan, which mean you have to prepay 24 months upfront.  Plan comes with free domain registration.

I am not sure existing customer can enjoy this rate, but you can try threatening them by leaving to another host, see if they are willing to offer you a good rate :D.

Any how, if you are happy with your current host, stick with them. a good quality hosting is worth paying for.

 Check out my update list of good cheap hosting.

Apache 2.x hosting offer many new features compare to Apache 1.3.x, including

• Unix Threading - On Unix systems with POSIX threads support, Apache can now run in a hybrid multiprocess, multithreaded mode. This improves scalability for many, but not all configurations.
• Better support for non-Unix platforms - Apache 2.0 is faster and more stable on non-Unix platforms such as BeOS, OS/2, and Windows. With the introduction of platform-specific multi-processing modules (MPMs) and the Apache Portable Runtime (APR), these platforms are now implemented in their native API, avoiding the often buggy and poorly performing POSIX-emulation layers.

And many more, check http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/new_features_2_0.html

Lunarpages has recently upgrade their web hosting plan to include option to support Apache 2 hosting. Customer do not have to pay extra for this extra feature.  If you are not sure which one to choose, pick 1.3.x as Apache 1.3 has been very stable for years.
