Re: below10host.com as webhost?

Okay. I'll tell you a little more information. The 'friend' of mine is actually my local church. I need ~20 email accounts because there should be 15 staff people (who will want/need email) and 5 for the future. Since it is a church, they don't have a lot of money to spend on stuff (i.e. a website). Their current host is at www.poconos.net, and the website of my church is www.st-thomas-aquinas.com. Poconos charges 19.95 a month, and I was hoping they could get something less than that. Does anyone know how to find out how much bandwidth my/my church's website it getting? Analog is installed, if that would help anyone figure something out. The stat's page is at www.st-thomas-aquinas.com/analog.html. Right now I am thinking of going with CIS Management as the web host as they seem to offer everything I need. I am a little concerned about reliability and stuff like that, so if someone with experience with them could say something... P.S. -- Could anyone give me advice/critics on the church's web site (www.st-thomas-aquinas.com)? The site really isn't much, but, not to rationalize or anything, that isn't all my fault. I am not a graphics designer. A few pics would probably make it look infinitely nicer, but I don't know how to do them.
