Anything goes? Well, if you keep it clean and aren't obnoxious.

Securing a web site address...

Post by Willard »

What is the best/correct way to do this? I have a web site (or 3) name that I would like to secure (as my own).

Who would be a good (affordable) provider for the 'service'?

I am a noob with this stuff... and will need to learn how to program (?) /upload stuff. :P

We've used godaddy for ours for a long time... can't say it really matters much.

Go Daddy sucks IMO. We use it for ITRCA currently and it's a pain int he ass to navigate. I'd say 1&1 or Dotster. My new favorite hosting site if you don't need windows servers is http://www.angryhosting.com.

I agree with Trey if you are working on a more complicated site - godaddy isn't real smooth.

However, it's pretty cheap & easy for a site like http://www.nocoastracing.com or http://www.wagnersbaseball.com. These were built with Dreamweaver. No fancy stuff. The wagner's site is actually a template I bought & modified. This is sufficient for most personal web stuff (car junk, family pictures, etc.)

I'm confused... i thought the question was for domain name registration... not hosting services.

Go Daddy sucks to get into your account for all things. Domain Registration, Hosting, . . .

I've hosted ITRCA alone in about 4-5 different places and Go Daddy is the most difficult to use.

i agree, i doesn't really matter where you register your domain so much... its the hosting that makes a huge difference.
