Listen to Rossman, Ripplehost is awesome.

I've been with them for the past month, no downtime, excellent menus and easy to work with.

well, i'm a ripplehost user, and i had run into some problems last week.
their cpanel license expired and i wasn't able to use it for a day.
as for up-time, most places use multiple backbones to cover so it's not a big issue.

i guess all i'm trying to say is, it's a great place to host your site (ripplehost)...
but it's not bulletproof. it still has some room for errors. .. like all the other hosts.
 
hoihtah is right and what do you expect for only $5 per year?

No web host is perfect. Not even my two personal favorites, which are ... ?
 
Rossman I was just wondering, if i were to go with ripplehost, is it required that I get a domain name or could I just use the ripplehost.com/~username for the site address? I know you have to pick a domain name when you sign up but I was thinking I could just make up a name for it and not worry about it.

yes, it's required that you purchase a domain name.
use godaddy or namecheap. 🙂

I dunno, I think it's required you have a domain.

I see that you've already asked.

Lookie here

Thanks for the help. Yea I posted there first but then figured I'd have a better chance at having it answered here in the next 20 min., while over there the reply's seem take longer. It looks like you have to enter a domain name when you sign up but don't neccesarily have to own it. Thanks for finding that second link:beer:
 
So if I register a domain name with GoDaddy or something and sign up with the 4.99/yr service,
I would be able to have email addresses like user@mydomain.com?

How hard is it to set up an e-mail adderss with your own domain?

Yes you can have up to 5 e-mail addresses,

user1@yourdomain.com
user2@yourdomain.com
user3@yourdomain.com
user4@yourdomain.com
user5@yourdomain.com

and it's VERY easy to setup thanks to the cPanel control panel.

You can even use webmail (like Hotmail comes FREE pre-installed) or Outlook Express.

yea your email would be NameYouWant@yourdomain.com and you get 5 of them I think it is. It's really easy to set up the email accounts. You just log in, create a new user in your account, and then set it up in outlook express or whatever. That's how it works on my current host atleast, I think ripplehost is relatively the same. It should be explained somewhere on the site.

<edit> Rossman beat me to it </edit>
 
I can personally vouch for blinx.net, I used to know the admin and he's a great guy, helped me out with a lot of stuff and $1/month seems pretty cheap.

wow I thought it would cost a lot more than this to get me@myowndomain.com..

hostway.com has domains for a year for $6.95..
so I can get that and this $4.99/yr and I'm set?
Click to expand...

Correct.

However I would recommend going with a REAL domain registrar who has a good reputation such as GoDaddy.com or NameCheap.com yes they are $2/yr more but it's worth every last penny.

Plus NameCheap.com gives you a lot of nice extras for only $8.88/yr

Looks to me like it's $9.99/year now... Still a good deal...

AFAIK it's still $4.99/yr, trust me.

Go through the entire sign up process, what price does it say during check out?
