Anyone reading this who has a web host they like?

I've got a doinky little place holding web site that I keep finding myself thinking of expending. Ideally I'd like an account that offers unlimited everything for under $10 a month, but something that offers several email accounts, php/perl (I'd like to potentially be able to put up a wiki), and at least one database (with extras either included or available at a low fee).

If I had lots of money I could always go with one of the big name $99 a month places, but I'd really like to be spending that much or less a year instead.

Question: Should raw chicken have a smell to it? I know they say fresh fish shouldn't smell fishy, is chicken the same way? (relevance below)

They say that nature abhors vacuums. Maybe so, but I happen to like my vacuum sealer. There was a really good sale last week on kitchen products, and so after paying off my bill with the store I turned right around and bought a blender, a new (non-patched power cord of DOOM) crock pot, and a vacuum sealer. So as a result I am no once again in debt to the store, and a happy vacuum sealer.

Sealed up a pouch of pasta as my first project, and oh my! After being frozen and thawed it reheated better than I've ever had any of my homemade pasta reheat. No dried out leathery noodles and watery sauce this time, it was nearly as good as when it was first cooked. I'm tempted to pick up some of the canisters you can vacuum seal with the machine (available at a couple of stores locally).


So today I pulled a bakers dozen of chicken drumsticks out of the fridge to vacuum seal and freeze since we will probably not fix any for at least another week. When I sliced open the plastic I thought I could just barely smell something. I had to lean down closer package to be sure. I have no idea how to describe it. I wasn't strong enough to be revolting, just there. Perhaps faintly metallic. Although I took out the trash a little while ago even though it wasn't but halfway full because the package after getting warm had a stronger smell. Although even that was just a little unpleasant. This wasn't anything as strong or objectionable as a strong vinegar or rotten eggs.
