Looking to buy domain web space at a reasonable cheap price.

Basically I want to learn how FTP works and a place to post up

pics from my digital camera and eventually

learn how to create a webpage. I’m a beginner so just need a

place to have some fun and get a learning experience. Also if I

ever get a website built by a professional will I be able to post it

here?

I use http://www.best-machine.com at the recommendation of one other TFP user. I've been relatively pleased with them, and considering the low monthly price, I can't complain.

They've answered all of my technical questions within 45minutes in every occasion.

I've also used http://www.powweb.com without any serious issues. I've heard good things about http://www.lunarhost.com too, but in the end, best-machine.com was less expensive and gave me everything I needed.

But, if you're just interested in plugging around, then a free host might be more in order. Maybe http://50megs.com/ would be a good fit? It all depends on how much you want to learn, and how much you are willing to pay.

PS: Powweb used to allow you to mail in a check if you didn't have access to a credit card. You had to pay quarterly, which was the drawback to this setup, but you're only talking about $24...

i use http://www.doteasy.com .

you can register your domain there, AND they have a $0 hosting program. 20MB of free space, 1GB transfer per month, email accounts, etc.

this is great if you're just starting out with learning to code/design your own pages... they have add-ons, like cgi/ssi/frontpage extensions, etc. at an extra charge... or you could go with their paid hosting services which are the best and cheapest IMHO.

seriously. check out doteasy.

Here is what I've used since last Janurary of 03:
I've never once had any problems, and have actually had my account upgraded a few times for free.
Thier servers get on average of 400-450KB/s speed if thats of any issue to you, or any other viewers fo this post.
They also have excellent service/support, you send them a message (Very similar to a private message on a forum) and they reply within the hour.

I know this may look like a lot of space that you may not need, but I currently have 680 of the 1000MB of space being used, only 200~ of it is NOT photographs from my digital camera, images build up over time. If you are anything like me, I keep all my photo's.

Also for a small idea if you want to keep somthing like a photo website, take a look at the coppermine image gallery (click on my www icon under this post, and click the big image on the website it takes you to, to get a idea of what I mean.)

www.anhosts.com - 9.95$ a month, down to 7.95$ a month if you buy a years worth.

I suggest Godaddy.com for hosting and domain name stuff. That's what I got for my mom's website, and it hasn't failed yet. 60 GB transfer/month and 400 MB webspace Overkill for her site, but it's only like 7 a month
