Good/cheap domain+hosting

[Lianweijun086]

Hey guys, I wasn't exactly sure where to post this. I don't particularly dare to wander into GD, anymore, and it didn't really seem to fit in the Help section, because it's not CG specific. As you've probably already gathered from the title, I'm fiddling with the idea of moving on to freer pastures. Getting my own domain/hosting so I can dip into some of that php/sql action. That being said... do any of you know a good place to get a domain and/or host? Also, what kinda of prices would I be looking at for a year. I think I'd be easily willing to spend $100 +/- $10 or $20. Thanks!

I know that GoDaddy.com is good. I only use them for domain listing/forwarding and security, but that's reasonable, and with that comes a lot of free extras like a very basic form of hosting. I don't know if that would be sufficient for your purposes, and I don't remember their prices for their other forms of hosting. But they're definitely a good company to check out.

Thanks Wendy! I looked up godaddy.com for some reviews and such, and I actually noticed FatCow.com on the top 10 of 3 or 4 different lists. I checked it out, and they give you a free domain + unlimited everything for just $44 a year! I also called up their support and was surprised to get a human in less than a minute... I'm really impressed with their services so far. For anyone interested in a domain/hosting check it out! http://www.fatcow.com/fatcow/special-pr ... fer=moopon
