Need a little web space, what should I use? Geocities?
 

I need a little web site for work stuff, should I just pay $9.00 a month to Yahoo? Is there a better deal around? TIA. :cool:

No, register your own site. Starting at $30/year you can get your own domain name, and email addresses. I used 101sitehosting.com

I use 1and1.com

Best to have your own domain.

I used godaddy.com for all my domain registrations, and hosting through hostingmatters.com. Very pleased with both.

If you need help let us know.

1and1.com is really popular with the folks I work with. If you have tech skills, check out linode.com - root access you have full control over your virtual server (I'll be getting one soon). Or if you have DSL/cable and your ISP doesn't block ports, run your own server (what I do now wtih my Linux running iMac)

Godaddy.com has by far the most options and the best prices...you can purchase their sitebuilder software as well and get rolling pretty easy.

Seems like $50-100/year is the going rate for web hosting that isn't bandwidth limited, ad supported, remote linking prohibited, etc. I've been using readyhosting.com for years with no problems. It was $99/year for the first site I set up with them, but $49 per year for additional sites.

Look for key features:
- unmetered bandwidth (you don't want them shutting you down if you host a video or something that gets a lot of hits)
- lots of storage (hard drive space is cheap--don't settle for less than 500MB since web sites have a habit of expanding)
- e-mail with unlimited accounts and full admin control
- extras like Frontpage, Perl, ASP, Access or MySQL or SQL server (depending on your needs) non-browsable directories, etc.
