Anyone have a website?
 

I am trying to find a good deal for web hosting, domain name, and email account. Do any of you have your own websites? I figured some of you do since a lot of you sell dog clothes, etc. Is GoDaddy any good? I have a mac, so I need something I can use with the mac? does anyone have any suggestions? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much! xoxo :) :aimeeyork

There's a wealth of information on that topic, do you know what you need yet? Like just a simple site with your own domain name? GoDaddy works, I know a few people that use it with no problems. Prices vary drastically, there are some good deals out there! :)

I use godaddy. The technical support is great!

thanks ladies! actually it will be a site that i can put up and sell my art, so i suppose i need enough room for that as the images could be kind of big depending! i was looking at go daddy and it seemed great. a few people also suggested homestead. for those of you that have godaddy, do you have your own emails through them too?

Would the free websites not be of use?
Try www.freewebs.com

Unfortunately the free websites have ads. You can see my website I made with angelfire at
http://www.angelfire.com/hiphop2/pea...portraits.html

See the ad that pops up? I want one without that and with my own domain name that is like www.art.com (something simple) and then i need an official email address to go along with it like joanna@art.com

i buy my domains from www.1and1.com only because it is the cheapest i've seen so far. and i buy my web hosting from napoxstudios.com or fibermm.com (owned by same people)

thanks for the suggestions! i have heard a lot of people recommend godaddy or homestead. Now does anyone use these with a mac? or do you all have pc?

I used Yahoo and have been really pleased so far....I have only had for about a month so far!! And it is really reasonable in price and they have 24 tech support and some great start up wizards!!

i never thought of using yahoo! that is a good idea as well! do they have email addy that comes with it? and package type deal?

I decided to switch hosting companies after being with Verio since 1998. Verio's pricing for adding additional new websites was too expensive with the other alternatives offered. Their service was excellent, but their multi-site offerings were not competitive.

After researching hosting companies, I decided to go with: Total Choice Hosting

They have relatively inexpensive hosting plans and I am in the process of moving several of my websites over to them from my prior host Verio.

Part of the consideration in selecting Total Choice was the cost per site, compatibility with scripting and special requirements of my existing sites, reliability, response of customer support, and other user's reviews. They also have an online forum for support where they respond very quickly and there is a lot of searchable information immediately online through the forum. Each hosting company will have various subtle differences in they way they implement hosting software and their user forum saved time in converting my sites by finding prior info on the problem and what the solution was (If you are designing a new site, you won't have any conversion problems). I have transferred 5 sites so far with minimal conversion problems.

I use Macintosh for design work and have rarely run into a problem with either my past or current host...

For domain name registration, there are many inexpensive possibilites including what the others have already mentioned. I would add MyDomain.com to the list.

wow great information! thank you! thanks everyone this is helping a lot!

I'm using geocities right now, I don't really like it for the fact that if you don't pay for it then they only give you limited views, but as soon as I get going good then I plan on upgrading. here are my 2 sites if you want to view it.
http://www.geocities.com/the_caring_...derlyCare.html (this is a site to advertise my mom and I's business we run)
Then here is my breeding site: http://www.geocities.com/vivacious_y...reTerrier.html
