Hi all,

This question has probably been asked a million times ... I'm looking for a reasonably priced company where I can register one domain name and host a site. It will be mainly for family-type communication, pictures, address book and possibly a forum. Nothing highspeed or high bandwidth.

I have had a registered domain for about 5 years now at $80/yr or so. Only used it for about 6 months hosting on a couple of Linux servers at home but that ended up being a pain in the *ss so I just dropped them. I figure I can do whatever I need to do on a site that someone else is hosting and from what I see (advertized) one can't really beat $x.99/mth.

I think the features I'm looking for are basically quick registration, easy setup and good customer service because my web design skills suck ;-) And even though people don't particularly like the "pay for the year" approach, i think it works out well for me as you pay once and you're done with it.

On top of my list were GoDaddy.com and Globat.com If anyone has any negatives about them I would appreciate some input.

Thanks!

Kevin

I've rarely heard anything bad about GoDaddy for hosting or domain registration. I haven't heard much at all about Globat.com.

Hi kevin,
I personally use hostmonster, globat, startlogic and ix hosting. All because i wanted to try all of them out.
My prefer ix hosting and hostmonster for both their customer care and also control panel and price and fast registration.
Hope It helps
