It's all relative. It's only a good deal if it's in your budget. Many inexpensive hosting options like this one have small or fine print. Some do not have a dedicated IP address and charge for that or have more expensive upgrade if you go over the SQL limits. Lots of little things. It's also not a good deal if they have crappy customer service. You should decide what is important to you and your website before checking just the specifications. More importantly how easy will it be to publish your site and updates.

Also, if you are actually interested in sweetnessing.com you should not include that in your question. It would be easy now for anyone to go and snatch that name before you.

I use a few different companies for hosting, some local, some nationwide and some worldwide. I like www.godaddy.com for what you are looking at. If you intend to have other domains you can group them all up on one single account without the cost increasing exponentially.

It's too expensive.

The host my site uses only costs $27 / year or $2.25 monthly and it comes with everything in your post, including the domain registration, 500 MB storage and 20 GB bandwidth.

But, I don't think I'm allowed to tell you where I get those services (and advertise the company). Suffice it to say, there are better deals than the one you posted.
