Is there a webhead in the house?

Ok, so I'm more or less getting a Statichost account (cheers guys <!--emo&:wag:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ailwag.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tailwag.gif' /><!--endemo-->)<br><br>I've checked out a domain name as well, and www.woodsforthetrees.com is open which is nice. Is this a good price/deal? = <a href='https://www.securepaynet.net/gdshop/reg ... e=register' target='_blank'>Harelink</a>

[Dr. Doog]

yeah that's a standard price, I think I've seen places that charged insanely less though.<br><br>...I thought you had already registered woodsforthetrees.com?

[Rooster]

No, I was holding off until I got the site done. No use wasting money on a domain name if you have nothing to put there <!--emo&:wag:--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ailwag.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tailwag.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Bah. All the "popular" domain vendors charge insanely MORE, or at least to my knowledge. Network Solutions, for example, the one everyone seems to know by name, would charge $35 for the same domain, and PairNIC, the one advertized on Keenspot, would charge $20.<br><br>Oh, and keep in mind, just so you won't be surprised, that there's a surcharge of $2.50 or so to whatever organization is in charge of domains for being a ".com" as opposed to, say, a ".info" or ".biz". They don't tell you that until you place the order.

GoDaddy is the most common domain registrar I've ever heard of, they're a bit cheaper than the price you quote. And my hosting provider, iPowerWeb, offers domain registration for $2.50/year for existing customers

[Dr. Doog]

GoDaddy. I think that might be where I saw the insanely low fee.

<a href='http://freedns.afraid.org/' target='_blank'>http://freedns.afraid.org/</a> offers free subdomains and free top-level domain hosting, among other great services.

...free!? YAY!<br><br>[edit:]<!--emo&:(--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... ns/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> I thought that they said that I could get roarlol.com for free. They need to be a bit more specific about it.

*sighs*<br><br>Well, in the end I used UK2.com to register the domain name as they were the only people I could find that would do hosting too, and accept my near-useless Maestro card.<br><br>Cost me £23 to buy the domain, and register it for 2 years (including the charge as it's a .com)<br><br>Just got to wait 2 days for it to clear before I can apply for hosting, then it's all go.<br><br>I'm going to have to delve into and near-rape my "festival fund" money to pay for everything.
