The price for the lower one seems really nice, but Im concerned with the contact information. The only one they give out in contact us is through email. They do have telephone and fax on site info, but its all what looks to be German numbers. Doesn't seem the easiest to get ahold of if I have issues.
Thank you though.
Any good US hosting services?
The guy that operates it is in the Linux mint IRC 99% of the time :pQuote:

Just doing my part to support FOSS if you're wondering why I'm pushing it so much :)
I use hostmonster.com 300Gig hosting package with webinstall of anything you could want package wise (CMS, forums, blogs, etc.), unlimited domains, free domain with the package $99 for a year $165 for two.

Holy **** thats good!!!!Quote:

It is good and the service is superb. I'm currently using 340Meg of my 300Gig server space hehe.Quote:

That would have been pointless though as all the people who want to know do so already.

The only issue I have with symbols in domain names is underscores. People WILL confuse it with a hyphen, (- vs _ ?) Hyphens are fine IMHO.
I think a good rule for domain names is to keep it simple (easier to remember), and not too long (more possibility for misspelling).
www.mydomain.com vs www.thisismydomaindude.com <-- just used to explain my point. I just realized mydomain.com sells domains. haha..
Like that! :D
Mine:
www.mremedia.ca
Company I work for:
www.olds.ca
Short domains FTW. (I dont maintain either of those sites btw.. someone else does it for me.)
Thanks for some of the pointers guys. And I totally understand calumc. Its really tempting because of the price, I just don't care for the lack of contact info, other than that it seems cool. From a business standpoint, I shouldn't have to get on an irc to have contact with the company (not that that is the only way, but im sure you get the point).
I found another domain that might work better. howtofixapc.com is open as well. If your thinking about how to fix a pc, seems like it would suit that task well. Now that Ive been thinking about it that is a whole lot of content that I would have to create. And I don't know everything, as I bet no one does on that topic. I guess I would learn a lot.
I personally think it doesnt matter in a lot of instances. Especially in personal website.
What doesn't matter? The hyphens? Or the host? Sorry just got lost a little bit there.
That domain name and the meta description tag "HowtofixaPC.com is where everyone can learn how to fix a PC Computer through video tutorials .... etc , and a great set of keywords. That would do it. Top 30 on google if your content is good and even top ten within a month.Quote:
