Hosting Help Domain transfers and what not. **BIG UPS TO DEVIOUSTRAP**

[isekii]

Alright, my domain name expires in 2 days.

1and1 offers domain for 5.88/year

Offering
Enjoy these great features & more
1 free e-mail address (alias)
Free unlimited e-mail forwarding
Free forwarding to any website
Free domain parking for future use
Masked forwarding

Whatever that means.

I'm currently with Name Cheap for 8.88/year

I will need to find a new host as well.

Any suggestions ?



What would be the best way to go about the domain name ?
Also If I were to transfer to 1and1 would I be able to use that domain name with any webhost ?

Thank You.




******OH YEA******

Also if I were to change hosts, how would I back up the stuff on ripplehost, so I can have the same stuff I had on ripple host to the new Host ?


*******UPDATE*******

BIG UPS TO DEVIOUSTRAP FOR HOOKING IT UP.
He helped me move my data and everything else over and offered me a great hosting deal

Thanks again.

Yippee

I have read lots of horror stories of people using 1and1 for their domain registrar. I would stick with namecheap if I were you.

Cool, i'll stick with name cheap.

what about a hosting solution ?
I was with Ripplehost with 100mb storage and 1gb bandwidth for 9.99 a year.


They were fast initially but now they seem very sluggish. *not a complaint*

anything faster with similar cost ?
I just need something so I can do my personal pic hosting and for few friends of mine.

I wouldn't use one and one for hosting, have some experience with their control panel and its a PITA, and really slow for some reason(might just be my server or something). that said I wouldn't use them as a registrar either, stick with namecheap. For hosting I think deviustrap was giving some small accts here away for free if your site isn't big. Your domain name is probably locked anyway(think it locks a week or so b4 it expires.)so might as well keep it there.

Why don't you sigh up with ripplehost again?

 

[isekii]

cuz they won't let me double up on my original domain name

so for 9.99 i'll be getting 100mb and 2gb transfer instead of the Double hosting they are offering right now.

Plus they've gotten really sluggish as of late.
