i asked a while back, but i want to buy a domain name and host it on the web

i will be able to build the website but i have no idea of how to register the domain or have it hosted

i want a cheap web host, but something that will let me run a proboard forum, its not gonna be nothing major, just a chance for me and my mates to catch up every so often, so the traffic will not be much

any suggestions to places too have a look, i would like a whole package it at all possible, it would save me messing around, so the same company that i brought the domain off i would like to host my site

cheers

having a browse round various sites (please correct me if im wrong)

i would like .com and .co.uk names if poss and just a basic package, ive noticed a few do 60mb-100mb, would this be suitable

im not really bothered about e-mail addresses, but they would be nice and cool[8D] is poss

i also believe that if use proboards it will be hosted by them so i would just link it too my site

Hmm... well, i cant match $4.99 (where on their site is this, they advertise @ $8.95...?)

Can do $6.99 for a .com, can do you hosting for £20 a year though...

I own my domain and have 2 free e-mails at www.namezero.com. Have used them for 5 years. Never EVER any trouble. Don't think they are the cheapest, but at least they are VERY reliable. (Is "reliable" the right word? - I mean that they can be trusted, everything works, etc.)

I am with www.freeparking.co.uk for domain + email and use www.netfirms.com for webhosting (their free version is good but paid for is cheap and good, although paid anually (not as cheap as yours Ben, I expect what Ben can offer will be excellent?)

I can't recommend freeparking anymore, although my problems I think have only been due to them trying to stop SPAM (I haven't had a spam there since I started 9 months ago!) but it still was annoying....(lost email for 6 hours at a time a few times)

I can concur with Mort that Namezero are VERY reliable and helpful, I used to use them some years ago back before they started charging and stayed with them for some time. True they are not cheap! I am now hosted by http://www.b-one.net who are cheap and pretty cheerful. Do not, I repeat do not go with bargainhost.co.uk they are so unrelaible and customer service was worse than useless. I left sharpish.

The silver package (and before everyone starts asking for it, Gaz has supplied millions of stickers, so is worthy of a discount :p)

If you go with Ben at least you know it's going to b reliable and any problems can be sorted out quickly.

Ben, I pay $4.99, I've been with them for a while so I've no idea about their current prices.

Oh, and I wasn't trying to lose you business. :I:)

ben - im not asking for freebies

i would deal with u though, cause u can speak english and help me out if i say 'thingy aint working' or 'what does this thing do'

3 questions though

1. i want 2 domain names, both directing too the same site, would that be classed as a sub-domain or an additional domain

2. would i be able too create my site in dreamweaver and upload it, or would it need too be done in frontpage, front page wouldnt be a problem but im used to dreamweaver

3. my site is mainly gonna be pics, its just gonna keep growing and growing, would that cause a problem

cheers

1. You need an additional domain. This 2nd one is very cheap (usually) since you're not renting any space for files, and no e-mail. You just forward this domain to your "primary".

2. I guess you can use dreamweaver, which I'm not familiar with. You'll have to check this with the ones you'll be renting you "web hotel" at.

3. There are different levels of space to buy. 10 MB, 50 MB, 100 MB, 1 GB etc. You can always expand the size as long as you PAY.
