i'm still looking around various hosting and registration options, and a few of them have been near perfect, except one thing... maestro... gotta be maestro. why has the majority of the comernce world not fully cottoned on to why n how debit cards are so great?
<br>and thus, in reccognition of my frustration, i am welcoming more frustration by deciding to embark on a quest to ensure my website does not have this failing.... im gonna have to find a hosting option that offers me all the easyness of buy now buttons and so on, templates n the works all the more welcome, whatever building tools they can throw at me, and doing it all on linux at their end, and also, all the support i need to impliment payment options that allow any and all payment types. its the only way its got to be. turning customers away because you cant accept payments like they want to pay...? not on my site if i can help it.
<br><br>still, the smart folk will download the free stuff, the rich folk can buy the extravagant stuff.<br><br>and... i'm feeling quite certain on my domain name now... <a href="http://ccunt.org">ccunt.org</a> ... or
ccunt.cc standing for creative comons unified/united new technology. :D which makes me smile anyway. ooh controversial some folks will say.<br><br>so where the heck offers all the bells n whisltes n size n bandwidth, and also has all the shop stuff kitted out ready with an all payment options accepted dooda.....
<br><br>?<br><br><br>ps, sorry for thinking aloud on the lugletter<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 18/11/2007, <b class="gmail_sendername">DreamIsDead</b> <<a href="mailto:dreamisdead0@gmail.com">dreamisdead0@gmail.com

http://www.hostgator.com/</a> for the past few months (shared hosting - the plan called 'baby') and overall I haven't had any complaints. The service has been reliable and pretty fast, and their tech support (via online chat) has been available 24/7 and was also very efficient and helpful.
<br>I'm paying about $8 a month - there are coupons for money off if you search the internet (get a 404 error on any page hosted by them for example). They have more expensive plans too if you were looking for something more substantial (I believe you can upgrade at any time anyway, though I'm not certain).
<br><br>They also offer one click installation of various forum, e-commerce etc software if that's useful to you, though I think that's pretty much the norm with most hosting.<br><br>Hostgator will also register your
<span id="st" name="st" class="st">domain</span> for you, at pretty competitive rates. I checked, and they registered my <span id="st" name="st" class="st">domain</span> in my name rather than theres so there are no worries about them forcing you to stick to their hosting in order to keep your
<span id="st" name="st" class="st">domain</span> - I've been told this can be a problem when you register a <span id="st" name="st" class="st">domain</span> through some hosts.
<br><br>Generally, just avoid cheap shared hosting which asks you to pay for a year up front... and don't trust hosting review sites.<br><br>Hope that was of some help,<br><br>Hazel.<br><br><div><div><span class="e" id="q_11653389f76919bd_1">

<br>i'm looking to get my website/gallery back online...<br>been trying to look around for a company (?) to host it. previously had <a href="http://wastedartist.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
wastedartist.com</a> with easyspace... didnt really enjoy that. so looking for someone better... havnt got a clue and there are like a billion options presented before me.... so... thought i'd save myself some time and waste some of yours. :D where the heck do i turn to? for getting a domain registered, and hosting space... any tips?
<br><br>i'm sure i'll find he means to get it built (throw a template at the problem) by myself. ;)<br><br>i left dundee college because they tried to turn the hnc in (all) digital media into an hnd in webdesign. ... an artist. not a web guy.
