Yes it's a two step process:

1) Find a new web host, if you are on a budget I suggest researching HostPC.com or AddAction.net

2) Go to your domain registrar's web site (GoDaddy.com, NameCheap.com, etc.) and change your DNS name servers to the new web host.

yeah, ok. ill try those guys. i got nothing on ripplehost and its only about 5 bucks out for me.
thanks for the new host options. (im using namecheap right now.)

You're welcome, happy to help

What you said is totally true. It's only $5 or $10, you get what you pay for!

 

[PatboyX]

anyone else have any web hosting suggestions/companies?

 

[PatboyX]

think ill go with telnap or hostpc.

Ripplehost doesn't allow domain name changes. You have to get a new account for a new domain name.

OTOH, while I've seen a few glitches from there, the price is absolutely worth it. I won't, however, put anything critical on their servers, but I have no problem putting up my bus site...
