Its Your Domain.....Who Are Some Good Web Host?

[MainFramed]

I just bought 2 domain names with It's Your Domain.com i dont wanna forward email.... i wanna make email. How do i make an email account like joe@joe.com (say joe.com is my domain) so i can use outlook as my inbox...how do i do that?

 

[NetworkDad]

Who does your domain hosting ?? Are your domain names pointed to your DNS servers ?

 

[RossMAN]

I register all my domains with NameCheap.com which offers free e-mail forwarding.

If your domain registrar doesn't offer this then you should get webhosting (Dixiesys.com is highly recommended for only $20/yr which includes your very own www.website.com, e-mail and FTP).

What's your monthly or annual budget? I know of 20 or so good hosts depending on your budget.

 

[MainFramed]

well really i got 2 domain names which would need hosting so i dont feel like paying over about... uhm 30$ a year for each so like 60$

30$ a would be my budget

 

Dixiesys currently has their 2 for 1 special running (hurry, ends NYE). You can either get 2 plans for hte price of one, or double your space/bandwidth. Since you have 2 domains, I'd get 2 accounts. I just signed up for their $3.95/mo plan.

There's your cue RossMAN - Take it away, give him the lowdown on hosting. I'm too lazy to type it up tonight.

 

[RossMAN]

As I said in my original post the best webhost is Dixiesys.com esp with their current 2 for 1 promo which gives you:

200 MB website storage
3000 MB bandwidth
20 e-mail accounts

All for only $39.95/yr, so you pay $39.95 and you get TWO webhosting accounts.

If you want other options, look no further than WHT.

 

[RossMAN]

I'm going to watch a DVD (rental) now, so if you have any other questions feel free to post them here.

Dixiesys.com really is the best bang for your buck unless you can afford $15/mo then you can get a resellers account which is AWESOME (host your own domains, sell hosting to people, etc.) and I can also recommend companies for that as well.

So go ahead and sign up for Dixiesys.com their current 2 for 1 promo ends Tuesday night.

Brb 2 hours.

Good choice - You won't regret it. If you have questions - you obviously can ask them here. Be sure to check out http://forums.dixiesys.com - There are a lot of FAQ's there on your Ensim control panel and much of the community (inlcuding myself) are more than willing to answer questions.

You assume correctly. Been there since sometime early last year.

Excellent choice and NetworkDad plus dozens of others create an awesome community over there.

I myself have about 3 personal accounts with Dixiesys and a reseller account with another webhosting provider.

Leave it to RossMAN to open my eyes. I have been using Hostway.com for years now with no troubles, but at $13.95/month! I think I may be moving to Dixiesys. Hey RossMAN, do you get a cut????

 

None of us get a cut . But it's always good to have ATers there so that we can discuss it here. Also, ATers are smarter (debatably) than your average joe, so it makes for a better community. I use Dixiesys as well.

 

[NetworkDad]

Ha - I wish i got a cut for every person that i've referred to dixiesys. I'd have a small chunk of change...

 

[compudog]

WOW! I just checked out Dixiesys! I think I may be moving some of my sites here!!! How's the service and the ensim control panel?

 

Ensim sorta sucks but it gets done what needs to be done.
