Hi Wayne,
We do our own in house. Our internet access has a fixed IP address, and we have a small server that handles our tiny web site. If you want I could help you bring it in house, or can refer you to a friend who does web hosting out of the Chicago area who is reliable and inexpensive.
Still, think about it - are you REALLY saving all that much? So far your total is $650 / year. That's $12.50 per week! Geeze, if it's that important, you should spend more on it than I spend on COFFEE in a freakin' week.
Now if the problem is that for your $12.50 you're not conveying the image that you want to convey, then by all means change providers, and think about what you want to use for CONTENT. If you're just hosting forms, you could try for something like GeoCities with tons of ads people can ignore but which is cheap. If you want a PROFESSIONAL looking website (Which I will admit mine is NOT - I can't afford the time to produce content for it) it's going to cost you more than $12.50 per week to do right.
That being said, we have a single fixed IP address we reserve for this, and parked a $65 e-bay server on it running Redhat Linux, and it hosts my email server and our web site, and since the internet address is paid for in another accounting column in the ledger, our website and e-mail become "free" except for the domain registration fee we pay every year - about $9.00 if I remember correctly.
Regards,
V.
