Domain Registrars & Hosting
- Getting a personal domain name (http://www.godaddy.com)
Hosted by Hostgator - 2007-9 - Recommended Web HOSTING site - GREAT starter package for $4.95/month (Note that you have to pay 6 months-a year in advance - but you do get a trial 100% refund if you do not like their services) - unlimited space! with FREE TEMPLATES for exploration. For those interested in getting your own professional web space, this is a reliable web hosting server. It was and IS highly recommended by other web developers. Based on my experience - I have found that they do provide 24/7 excellent services.
