I'm trying to help some friends put simple personal website and looking for the most affordable solution. Websites will be html/css only. Anyone find a really cheap solution to 1) buy domain and 2) host? I've seen hostgator and godaddy, but I was wondering if there are lower offers. Thanks

For cheap hosting of static sites, I'd look at either Nearly Free Speech[0] or an Amazon S3 Website Endpoint[1]. Amazon will be cheaper, but more complex to set up. Throwing $20 into a Nearly Free Speech account will probably keep your friend running for quite a long time.

check out github pages. you'll get the added benefit of version control as well.
