Web Hosting and Domain Names?
Guys, remember.... "best" website hosting should NOT be determined by cost! You get what you pay for! Although 1%26amp;1, Godaddy, and all the others list huge benefits, and low cost - they are going for QUANTITY, NOT QUALITY. If you are paying, for example, $2/month and the server that you website is on goes down - do you think that they are really going to care what you have to say? Its only $2 to them.





On the flip side, I've been with http://www.DependableHost.net, and have nothing but good things to say. They've had 100% uptime for a year %26amp; and half now. They give all the features you'd ever want, and the customer support is awesome! Often have an answer is less than 3 minutes!

7.77 a month and I believe you get a free domain with that for one year. Afterwards the domain will be around 15 dollars a year.
Reply:I used www.networksolutions.com when I started my website. I hear a lot of good things about www.godaddy.com too.

Reply:I would recommend NOT registering your domain and hosting your website with the same company as it puts your domain at risk in a few different ways, especially if your relationship with the company sours. For example, if you decide to host your website elsewhere, they may give you a lot of run around about making the necessary changes to your domain, or about allowing you to transfer the domain to a different registrar.





Also, if they decide to cancel your HOSTING account for any reason, eg someone reports your website as being offensive (without proving it is) or lapse in payment, they may also take your DOMAIN hostage and try to resell it to you for hundreds or thousands.





In fact, with some registrars, you may not even own the domain you register, which they will only point out to you when you attempt to transfer it to a different registrar.





With all that said, I use Domainsite.com for all my domains (over 50).





For hosting I would recommend Dreamhost.com.
Reply:as the saying goes "you get what you pay for" so i wouldn't expect anything great of free/cheap web hosting and domain names.





cheap web hosting and domain name services will likely be alot more unreliable than more established web hosting and also will have a meagre bandwidth limit that may cause problems if you get a decent amount of traffic.

Reply:I bought my domain through Yahoo! and I am pleased.





Another good site I bought another domain on was www.1and1.com





Both are pretty cheap. 1and1 is nice because they offer free privacy when you register through them. Yahoo! charges around $9.99 or so.





As for hosting...





I bought my hosting through ehost.net and it was on eBay...I got a great plan and I saw some places charging at least $10-$30 dollars a month for the plan I got for $10 for a year. I am happy so far with the hosting, no problems at all. I highly recommend them!





You can also buy it straight through them. They have great feedback on eBay if you feel like checking it out http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...





Hope this helps!
