If you have a website(s) click on this thread plz K thx

I'm about to build a website for my brother, who is an independent musician. I've built sites before but never went far enough too find a host, buy a domain name, etc. This website would be getting VERY little traffic (i would imagine)... The address would be spread by word of mouth and buisnesscards as well as links from a few other sites like purevolume.com

Can you guys recommend a few hosting sites (there are so many!). I would need very little space (room for a few mp3s etc.). I don't want to be paying monthly for this (yearly - [cheap])as I really doubt Its going to get much traffic. thats all hope someone can help me out. -george

www.volarex.com

www.clear-data.com is my webhost and I'd definitely reccomend them to others. If you're interested get in touch with me and I'll get you more info.

see you guys are gonna laugh but i don't feel like spending $50/yr, does it get any cheaper at all or is that the bottom of the barrel

godaddy.com has one for 3 dollars and something a month...i have no idea what it entails as i am new and considering starting a personal website too.

if you really want to go that cheap and will be that little traffic just go free, something like geocities then just register a domain and have it masked forwarded to the free site

oh, thats a good idea. my next question i guess would be Does anyone know some free hosts that don't have ads on them?

You probably won't get a free host with no ads. If you do, they're very rare and sometimes unreliable.

Fuitadnet.com is pretty cheap but they're probably more than you need.
Here's a cheap one http//www.made2own.com/index.php?id=hosting&ref=special

i used a www.freewebs.com one. Then, i uploaded it onto a www.dot.tk server. you can also use a www.cjb.net i think the site is for that.

http//hollosite.com/
Use to be the best hosting site and is still really really really good. But they recently placed adds on my site (.

100mB storage
3gB Transfer per month

and then I use dot.tk

http//www.wddclan.tk

go to

www.trialclix.com

and check out the offers they have, good way to get points while using a service you need D

From what I've seen, you have to pay something in the range of $50/yr of you want reliable hosting. You don't want to look unprofessional or be generally annoyed with having to deal with a site that isn't always up.

There are plenty of hosts that guarantee 99% uptime (don't go with the ones that offer 100%, because that's bullshit) for cheap prices.

I currently have an account with http//www.micfo.com and they have been tremendously good to me. I paid for 3 years in advance, costing me $135, taxes included (less than $50/yr).

Check the PM I sent you.

depending on how long you'll be up Dreamhost offers a $7.77 for the first year for

1 FREE domain registration
www.yourname.com
3 full domains, 15 subdomains
2400 MB Disk, 120 GB Transfer
600 Mailboxes, 75 Shell/FTP Users

I have a friend who hosts a real site there - he's never had a problem.

www.doteasy.com free hosting, domain name is $25, so it's only $25 a year, best bet

or if you want all the PHP crap

www.xignahosting.com -D

goodluck!

(btw, godaddy offers DOMAINS for $3 and that doesn't include hosting..)
