My WebPage

[Yekcidmij]

Im looking to build my own website and Im looking for any suggestions that might help.  Where is a good place to register my domain name.  The cheaper the better.  Is it better to use Yahoo or something like that?  Thanks for the help.

Nice index of web hosting:
freewebspace

I can't post the address(because I havn't posted very much).
Just search for it on google.

 

[Yekcidmij]

ill check it out....thanks

Cheap domain registration... I wouldn't go with Yahoo.

Look around a bit - Google is a great place to start, yeah.

Make sure you see some sites/able to test the speed and reliability of the server before you buy space on it though

 

[Jon]

Ok I post the URL now:
http://www.freewebspace.net/

I'm looking at http://www.telushosting.com/ for domain hosting. It offers free domain parking (I don't know what domain parking is....)

dot.tk offers free domain registration but it has to end with .tk


*Jon is planning on hosting a web site soon!

 

[paulewog]

/me can't remmeber what domain parking is but it's not what you want

 

[paulewog]

/me looks at Telu-whatchamacallit....

Personally... I think that's really expensive.

Look at CIWebhosting - that's who my church is with ... www.ciwebhosting.com

I'm not sure you want that much space, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend it - but I think you should keep looking around...

If your looking for a web host (you'll need them in addition to registering a domain), I highly recommend dreamhost. I've been with them for about 4 years, and they've been absolutely excellent.

 

[Susan]

sorry: I wouldn't use dreamhost.

 

[Jon]

If you don't need to many features then you might want to try using free hosting, you can get up to 3GB at some sites!

Why not?

Yekcidmij: I use brinkster: www.brinkster.com

It's not too bad - but you have to load up your pahges via http rather than ftp.

I'm not sure whether they do international business, but the UK host easily.co.uk is hard to beat. They are very helpful, and I've had no problems with any of the domains I've been hosting with them over the last year. They are competitvely priced too...

 

[paulewog]

ewww, http uploading ... *coughs* icky

 

[S Walch]

I, but it's 30 MB web space and it's free hosting with no adds or pop-ups.

You can pay if you want FTP access and a lot of other stuff - But I only need the free web space atm - so it doesn't bother me

 

[paulewog]

you mean "aye" not 'I"

Hehe, yeah. no ads and no popups is nice

you don't often get that AND cgi capabilities for free though

 

[booger]

I would recommend www.echolima.com .  This is who I have my website through.  Very good prices with numerous features.

 

[S Walch]

But you have to pay - he wants free >_<

I like Free web-hosts - espeicall ones with no banners or pop-ups

Is the best I've found so far;
100MB of space.
Text Add
cgi scripts
Domain or /yourname
no ftp
to the fastest, works good unless you want the user to download massive files or watch videos

This is an excellent free host that supports php (one of my personal favorites). You have limited disk space and bandwidth but it has been sufficient for my needs so far. They do provide FTP access as well which is nice compared to others
