I hope Ive put this post in the right place!

Can anyone recommend a fairly reasonable site that i can buy a domain name and host my site from.

ideally id like a site that can support front page extensions.


1)Anyone got any recommendations, or views on using front page?

2)Is there any other application i could use which is as good that does require extensions?

Here is the link, start there...and then maybe you can find some other ones later. http://www.webforumz.com/new-to-web-....htm#post71649

They're quite specific requirements - you could probably get a better deal when looking around for a host if you were willing to buy the domain elsewhere? Is the domain name a specific requirement for you?

Site5 actually has cheap domains, too. $8.88 as I recall.

JacobHaug

Site5.com is really cheap and good!!

snow

Ooh, it also supports the Frontpage extentions in its cheapest deal - that looks like a pretty good bet for you, ukez.

Dreamhost has been pretty solid for me.

that site5 looks interesting, how long have you been with them?

ukez

anyone used http://www.greenlush.com?

JacobHaug

I have been with them for about 3 or 4 months...so glad I found them...I think I am in heaven...lol, but also godaddy.com is good, and hostgator.com, but nothing beats site5.com, check for yourself!!

No I would say no one here has, since you are advertising your own personal hosting company. Please STOP advertising your company, as that is against our terms and conditions, which merits banning, this is your last warning...Thanks!!

ukez

Whos advertising their website, are you refering to me? I hope not as i dont own any web hosting website

JacobHaug

hehehe...sorry, I keep forgetting no one else can see the deleted posts...lol But no I was not talking to you, actually that comment went out to Jasonb...which greenlush is his personal hosting company...which he keeps advertisings.

Its ok..

I was more interested in that site5 offer anyway, im gutted though as you can only pay by Visa and i dont have my visa card any more.

Is site5 legit? how can they do such a large package for such a small amount, whats the catch.. ive been looking through their terms and conditions to see if i can notice one.. T&C's are always so long winded dammit.

They dont support paypal either as of yet... oh well

Ryan Fait

Jacob and I both use site5. It's really quite amazing. I haven't experienced any downtime, nor problems. While I haven't had a need to contact customer support, Jacob tells me they're lightning fast. I personally recommend them to everyone

As for the payment, if you have the cash at hand, perhaps you could convince a family member or friend to use their card and you just give them cash.

JacobHaug

Nope site5.com is great!!
