I
use a webhost named Godaddy.com
I
have had good and bad webhosts, and these guys are great...
Generally,
basic web hosting costs are made up of 3 things
1. The domain name : www.yourname.com When
you pick a name for your website... it is registered to you and no one
else
but
in essence, you "rent" the name annually - these fees vary
from 5-10 dollars per year.
2. The web host (aka. server) When
you choose a host ( or server ) you are paying a monthly fee for the
service.
They
keep your files and show them on the web. The services have monthly
fees that vary
based
on the size of your website and the services that you want. A basic
website is $4.00 per month.
3. The fees to transfer an existing service (only if needed) If
you have an existing name/account and you want to transfer the name
to another host,
there
is usually a one time fee for this - around 5-20 dollars. I will facilitate
this process.
This can be a confusing process to newcomers. If you have any questions dont hesitate to call me. Chris Blair 415-407-9941
