All About Web Hosting
The web hosting industry is very competitive and many companies today are
offering huge web spaces that most people will never even come close to filling.
A personal site rarely uses more that 5-10 MG of space, while a business
site with assorted downloads may need more space or more services like CGI access, or
Mysql
Many companies will also offer to host more than 1 domain per
account. This is reasonable if you have several domains to house.
For companies that don't offer to house more than 1 domain per account, or
only offer sub domain hosting, you may want to use domain name forwarding, to make any
file on any site appear to be your domain.
Several but not all Domain Registrars offer the feature of domain
forwarding. Check to see if yours does.
Companies that offer free domains with their hosting service have built
the price of the domain into their hosting package
Often buying your own domain name separately will turn out to be a far
better deal
Incidentally I buy both my own and my clients domain names from
www.GoDaddy.com 
Selecting a web hosting provider is like inviting someone to share your
business and should be considered carefully.
If your hosting company is unreliable, then your site will be unreliable
as well.
The cheapest or most expensive is not necessarily the best or worse one to
choose.
Ask question and get answers before you sign up, if the answers you get
are very vague then go somewhere else.
Domain Services
Lunarpages
is our first choice in web hosting. With our own personal experience we found Lunarpages to
be a topnotch web hosting service.
Currently Lunarpages offer 1500 GB of space, unlimited add on domains
and a free domain name for life amongst it's many features.
This is an excellent offer at just $6.95 per month that you really need to
take a serious look at.
Sub Domain hosting is still a good bet for homepages or personal pages,
and there are still plenty of free providers around, however the free sites usually run
ads on your site and this will detract much from your site.
For a very small fee you can get ad free sub-domain
hosting from two of my personal favorite places.
Visit
S-Host-2
to get a 20 mg site free for the first 3 months, then pay just .99 per month there
after.
or you can get a smaller space at
Cmark1 They
offers a nice 10 mg space for a tiny cost of just .49 per month. This is likely an
ideal size for your first or small site.
Once your up and running, don't forget to add your site to one of our
webrings and start generating some extra cool traffic
