lunarpages starts at $6.95/mo. and I have been developing a site on there for a couple weeks without a problem... they're feature set is great - up to 10 domains, unlimited subdomains, databases, 350GB storage, 3500GB bandwidth etc. for 6.95. I've been hosting with them for about 6 months and have had no problems whatsoever.
However - I would warn you about drupal on a free/cheap shared host if it's going to get any large amount of traffic. There has been a lot of talk on the forums about people getting shut down because drupal used to much processing power, the most famous being http://drupal.org/node/137898 (well i don't know how famous it is, but it comes up on the first page of almost everything I search for no matter how unrelated my search is). To be safe I called lunarpages yesterday and asked them about their policy - as others have said their hosting providers did, lunarpages would shut my sites (all of them, not just the one causing trouble) without notice if my sites go above 1% of the processing power of the machine. 1%. not much. I don't think I'll run into a problem because I'm only developing on that server. I still ended up in a screaming match with him - my contention being that whether it's a policy or not it's an unfair one if I am not provided with a tool to monitor my usage or given warning. Like not putting speedometers in cars but still issuing tickets if you speed. He basically said tough luck, it's the way we and everyone else does it in the industry and it's not going to change.
