Answer» Hi All, I am looking for a site to host a domain for me. It will be very low traffic and I don't need much to make it work for me.
Anyone suggest a hosting company?
Thanks Do you want/have your own domain name or does it matter?I would need them to register the domain name but I would own it.
Right now I don't have a domain name.
try http://www.123-reg.co.uk/ thats were got my domain name im lucky because my boyfriend hosts my website for me on his own server but 123 reg can host it for you for cheapThanks but I am in the USA. Do you know of anything that is in dollars?
Thanks GoDaddy.com is probably one of the BEST value and well-known hosters and registrars.Thanks....I will check them out.
Personally I'd check around over at WebHostingTalk.com - they're the biggest independent hosting forums.
I wouldn't recommend GoDaddy.com though - they seem okay for domains, but their hosting tends to be over-priced and OVERLOADED (I once seen one of their shared hosting servers with 1,500 websites on it; it wasn't a high powered server either and the server loads averaged at over 20 )
What's your budget, by the way?
Just throwing some hosts out there who I've either used or know to have a good reputation: ASmallOrange.com, HostGator, HawkHost, MDDHostingBudget is as low as I can get with ok service. I am ok with spending about 10.00 per month. Or is this to low?
I will check out the sites you suggested...
Thanks Just checked out ASmallOrange.com Looks like thats what I am looking for!
Thanks there's plenty of hosts in the US, plenty of good ones so you shouldn't have problems finding good home for your site. Just be careful to research options before you choose. Some of my favorite places to check for good hosts are: http://webhostinggeeks.com/ http://www.thetop10bestwebhosting.com/ http://webmasterformat.com/find-a-host/poll-who-is-the-best-host http://www.webhostingtalk.com/
I agree with TristanPerry, Godaddy is excellent domain REGISTRAR, but I othen herad that their servers are overcorwded so not so good choice for hosting. I would recommend godaddy.com for domain registration but not for hosting. These two functions need not be done with the same provider. Godaddy.com started strictly as a domain name registrar and later EXPANDED their services to include web hosting. I'm quite sure they are the largest domain name registrar.I register all my domains at Go Daddy. And I do all my hosting at HostGator. They are very affordable and their customer service is excellent, at least that has been my experience.Although still a beginner to the Internet I have buildt a number of sites to the point where I have found it most cost effective to have a resellers account and then rent out sites to my friends a VERY competitive prive and in this way I get all of my websites and as namy new ones that I build for free and also make a small PROFIT into the bargin.Yes, thanks for the replies. This has been solved.
