[[AK]FiGHT*CLuB]

I believe this has been posted before but I kinda want a update on what people use and think.
I'm looking into building a website (ganna be tough on dial up lol) and want to know who you guys have used, who has the best deal, who you recommend? CHEAP lol!
Its for the railroad, for new guys seeking info and help. Like ME :p
Yes I need to register the domain name also. Also what programs do you use for your websites? IE Frontpage, fireworks.
Any info will help.. Thanks.

godaddy.com for domain --> $10/year
edatarack.com for hosting --> 2.95/mo (paid annually)

I agree with Choozoo, that is the best deal out there, and quality of service is awesome.

their response time is ok, but it is hours, not days.

you get quite a bit for $3.95/mo though. (they emailed me a special for 2.95, let me see if i can find it.) **UPDATE** Existing customers only.

2GB storage
60GB transfer
unlimited users/email
ftp
20 mysql DB's
etc.

One important note: no backups, you need to back it up yourself (which they did lose a disk and my site, but gave me a free upgrade to the next level for life).

Thanks Choo, Ill give them a try. Next question is, what program or other would be best for a complete newbie use to build a simple page? Basically its just to get members to use the forums for questions and answers?

[[AK]Choozoo]

they've got some built in stuff.... check them out.

for forums and what not, i use PHPBB. their admin panel has some stuff. I'll log in and post the goodies here. stay tuned
