Cheap web hosting?
« on: September 22, 2008, 07:45:52 AM »
Thinking of making one of those personal, online resume type websites.

Anyone know a good but inexpensive way to set up a small personal site with no more than 25MB storage, preferably with an easy GUI for page creation and file uploading (no FTP program required)

I\'m only familiar with these guys: http://www.rightwayweb.com/ and they\'d charge me $20 a year for the domain name and $20 a month for the storage space. They include a free, competent website for creating and editing pages and uploading files.

Anything else out there?

Who is this anamoly we call Jumpman? How is he able to do what he does and still survive after years of torment? It seems he feeds on the hate, growing with an intense passion to put unassuming members in their place.

A colleague recommended this company, but I\'ve never used them:

http://www.lunarpages.com
http://www.dreamhost.com

in that order.  Free domain for life, unlimited web sites/subdomains, and more bandwidth and storage than you\'ll ever use.  For about $5-$8 a month.

Thanks Core,

Can you help me figure this part out:

Subdomains25
Host External Domains20
Host Unlimited 1&1 Domains

Those are how many are included in the basic plan, but I don\'t know what those categories mean... Any idea?

Also, thank you THX. I\'ll probably end up going with one of these three. I thought the guy I knew would be giving me a break, but he\'s way over priced given the competition.

let\'s say eiksirf.com is your site

Subdomain examples

- mail.eiksirf.com
- draft.eiksirf.com
- sony.eiksirf.com

Each is it\'s own root directory and acts as a separate site but exists as a folder within eiksirf.com.  Helps break up major content within the same site.

Domain examples

- eiksirf.com
- myothersite.com
- goatse.com

Separate sites entirely but you can still piggyback them off the same account.

1&1 is a dollar cheaper and seems to have a wide toolset for beginner site building.  Seems like a good choice

Thanks for the recommendations, THX. I use DreamHost right now, and so far the hosting is great and the customer service is awesome. I might check out lunarpages.com as well, but DreamHost has served me well.

Thanks for the help you guys. I was going to go with 1and1 but the reviews for them are terrible, so I\'m trying lunarpages.

Haven\'t played around with their interface yet, but hopefully I\'ll have a page up and running within the week. Appreciate it.

Porn site, right? Gimme a free pass, dammit.

As long as it\'s straight porn. Not that gay stuff Titan likes.
