I found cirtexhosting.com from an ad and would like to know if it is a reliable web host. (As in not a scam)

Because their $2.99 basic plan looks really cheap.

There are many good webhosting sites.

Visit

http://www.nicewebhosts.com

there you will find best web hosting providers compared with their webspace and bandwidth as well as their prices.

Hope you find the right one.

I've never heard of that company....so no, I wouldn't trust my website with them at that price.

Have you considered Bluehost or Startlogic ? Both are great and fairly cheap.

I cannot find a whole lot of reviews out there for cirtexhosting. Some do exist and they seem a bit mixed.

Examples,

Personally, I use http://hostmonster.com

They have a good package at a good price with terrific support. They are the same company as http://www.bluehost.com
