I've seen packages that allow 500MB of diskspace and 2GB of x-fer bandwidth per month for as little as 30$ a year, with domain registration.
BTW, Cpanel, Plesk are types of html GUI server interfaces. They do alot of command-line stuff graphicially through html.

$50 a year gets you 500MB diskspace and 15GB x-fer per month. Subdomains, e-mail, ftp access included.
