I have - I had to set up a .org for a conference, that would be hosted on our servers, but since we're an .edu, we can't ourselves give them a .org.... Anyway, godaddy was pretty easy and straightforward.

Merci! I was cared of all the add-ons of godaddy. Need to figure out what I want and need.

never heard of 'em. looks to be using a lot of stock photo, probably just a reseller of one of the bigger webhost.

I personally like BlackSun ( http://www.blacksun.ca ) A lot of webhosts you get what you pay for.

YMMV

Any opinion on godaddy?

I guess I have to think more about my needs. I may incorporate a blog of some sort, don't need tons of space nor traffic. That said, not sure how big a traffic bufer I need. I should talk to Dave. He has a photo website.

I haven't used them, but I haven't heard good things about them either.

Blacksun is nice because they're Canadian Based and a registrar as well (good if you want a .ca) they also have pre-canned shopping carts as well.

Dave would be another good one to check with. I used to know who he had, but can't remember offhand

Pre-canned shopping carts WOULD be good! I value your opinion, and if you say they're worth the money, they must be worth the money. Maybe I should ask on fredmiranda as well, and see what photograhers use.

Whn you say you haven't heard good thingsm, you mean you HAVE heard bad things? What bad things have you heard?

http://nameroute.com offers fairly inexpensive hosting.

http://dreamhost.com offers comprehensive hosting plans.

Thanks Nancy,

How is dreamhost better than hostpapa? Princing is a bit higher (but you get more, but I don't know if I'd exploit what I get more of) but they do offer additional domains for $9.95 versus $24.95 for hostpapa. But for 3 year plans, they charge $7.95 versus $5.95. I should probably just start with a 1 year plan for now.

Thanks for the feedback!
