Good hosting? (Page 1 of 2)

DNS stands for Domain name system.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS

You use it to join your domain name with your hosting account. Your hosting provider will provide two name servers (ns1.host.com and ns2.host.com or something like that - changes for each host) that you need to enter (their will be a form in the control  panel) somewhere at the website of the company you brought it from. Once that is done, log in to your Host monster account and look for a place in your Control Panel that says something along the lines of domain. Their should be a form where you can enter the domain name you just entered the name servers for.

avoid yahoo webhosting unless your going really basic

Like the Dr. said, do your research.

What's a good host today, can become a really bad host 6 months from now. Popularity has a way of making money hungry individuals oversell their hardware.

Personally, I'd go with a small outfit that has no intentions of growing.

actually i have my own hosting company.... DR Jeckyl got two accounts with me.. and several other rc and car clubs also.. there not bad and cheap for a reseller account.. there on a share cluster system. so if a system dies u never lose ur stuff... but i only host for a few friends and my personal 1000 sites..lol.

thank you again.

3 years ago 1and1 handed out 3 years free preview for their services (with no strings attached).  I signed up for 2 of those and eventually ended up staying with them.  I haven't had too many problems with them either.  250 gig disk space, and 2.5 terrabytes monthly transfer for 10 bucks a month ain't to shabby.

I am at www.realvaluehosting.com and this is my third year with them, that have good support.

something that noone has mentioned most reliable hosts have is a forum. if they give the option for their customers and potential customers to give feedback then that should say something about them as a company as a whole. they aren't trying to hide behind a support desk or email address.

just my opinion really.

i may. catch me on aim/msn and we'll talk. i have some possible leads for "customers".

I am using 1and1 for the past 2 years, now i personally suggest 1and1 is the best as i know. service+price both are good! hope you too ll get benefited with this..
