Thank you for that.

First site I go to when I get in. Not every day is a gem (for me, anyway) but some are beyond spectacular or just plain interesting. Glad you like.

I'm considering getting one of them thar new fangled domain thingies.
I have several possible names [all cheap ] and I am now at the next stage of working out what to do.
I will need a host - no way will I run a server here 24/7 to keep the hordes satisfied. I would like to be able to choose exactly how I set things up. My idea is a simple personal site with a blog. I want to be have full control of what technology it runs, probably straight to DVD stuff first, RoR or ASP [I have yet to settle which] but I want the option to change things as I see fit. Then I would like to be able to have e-mail that I can access from any where - so a web portal is good as well as having it on my phone and desktop.
My web knowledge to date is mostly as a user. I know some of you guys and gals even make money from it, so what would be a good starting place for me?

I use Arvixe[^] - they are pretty cheap, and I haven't had any real problems. The tech support isn't bad either.

I had tons of issues with Arvixe, so I switched to HostGator[^]

Arvixe has its moments, but generally OK, and cheap as chips.
|
|

Arvixe[^], methinks. As do several others.

I would also say Arvixe are okay.
However, keep your domain name/s registered elsewhere: I use Network Solutions or Go-Daddy (cheap).
Best not to keep all your eggs in a single basket.

Whatever you do, stay away from Arvixe. It's used mostly by hackers and sheep ...

I use EvoHosting here in the uk.
A basic package is less then the electricity you'd need to run from home.
They've never let me down once in four years.
Basic package includes free DN, a proper one at that(I have a dotcom), ftp server, website, three domain emails(for which you can change the names/passwords in about a minute.
All accessed through cPanel, and 10G bandwidth, hosted on StarScreamer and Linux.
Excellent host.

I've tried quite a few. Finally settled on Rackspace for email hosting, GoDaddy for domains (have a good DNS management tool) and Azure for hosting web servers (they host VMs with Windows Server and Linux at reasonable prices).
I haven't found a single company that does everything well though for a reasonable price.
