Hi All-

I need to set up a website, and I'm looking for recommendations. One video I saw suggested GoDaddy for registering domain names and HostGator for hosting, but there are lots of options out there (WebHostingHub, FatCow, JustHost, etc.) and I'm new to this, so I figured I'd ask the experts.

WebHostingHub is rated highly here, and it's among the least expensive.

What do you folks use?

Thanks!

Domain=GoDaddy
Hosting=Hosting24.com

I'm very happy with 1&1 internet. I have their Linux business package, which is $10/mo for 3 included domains, 250GB storage, and unlimited bandwidth.  So far, the service has been very reliable, and their support staff very helpful.  I'm happy to recommend them.

If by chance you end up going with them, would you consider using my affiliate link?  Thanks!

Go Daddy of course.... they have the best commercials.

Thanks for the feedback.

So far I'm leaning towards WebHostingHub.com. It's $3.95/mo and includes a free domain name. The reviews are good, but I don't trust most of what I read these days! Anyone here have any experience with them?

Excuse my ignorance, but why do some recommend registering a domain name one place and hosting the site with another? Aren't all domain names created equal?

Thanks again-

Dang!  Someone beat me to it!  LOL...
 
Anyway, ALL of my personal websites and hostings as well as ALL of my business websites and hostings are with 1&1.  Neither I nor my business partners have had any issues with 1&1 (I've been with them for years).  Their customer support has been excellent, I also have no problem recommending them (of course I'll spare you "MY" affiliate link - hehe...).

my websites are also on 1&1 and yep russell beat us to it!  I have an affiliate link as well on my website...

Hi Russell-

I guess you win! I followed that link and it looked just like their regular order page -- was I supposed to see something different, or is that how the "affiliate link" works? Anyway, before I knew it, I'd placed an order, so I guess I have a website.

Now for some content... ;)

Thanks-

So I was checking out some website building software (can't tell if 1&1 offers anything free) and came across weebly.com, which offers software and free hosting. The reviews look pretty good, too. Have I made a mistake already? I'm so confused...

-Susan

I've never heard of weebly - 1&1 has some limited website building tools included in your package - no programming experience needed.  it's limited to 12 pages, IIRC.

I use WebEasy Professional.  I think it was $50.
