Domain Names and Webhosting

Hey Kathleen, et al.,

You said:

my own.
 
Probably the best deal going that I have seen is directnic.com

The deal is $15 to register your domain name, this includes free
hosting.  They advertise directnic.com on a banner on your site.  You
won't have any other ads than that.  So for $15 a year, that's not bad.
For $15 more a year, they will give you bannerless hosting.

The hosting is extremely basic.  No access to CGI, PHP, mySQL or any
other services.

If you are looking for a website that is primarily HTML/javascript, this
is the way to go, and the least expensive from what I've seen, and you
really don't have to know a whole lot to get going.

If you do want to move your domain to a more robust server, you can
configure the DNS server through directnic's self-service area, and run
your website from any webserver you want.  It's definitely worth
checking out.

Cheers,

Judd
