Kyacking with a hummer?

[PyRo]

Yeah, it took them all of an hour to close my account for violation of there TOS. Would have been better had we had my camera with sound and better quality. We were going to light the kayak on fire before we ran it over with the hummer but my friends older brother came out and got pissed about it so we couldn't.

I am not sure of the pricing within the US but as far as I am aware domain names like a real strange one like you used as an example will be pennies...the hosting is the bit that kills you plus be careful as a lot of hosting companies in the small print either charge you lots for transfering the domain name or actually own the name you have chosen and are paying for...don't forget you can have a choice of registering the domain name for 3 years or way longer and you ultimately never own the name if you let the renewal slide so you will lose the name. Domain cloaking is useful to limit the length of the root directory you will have to type for links etc. MB storage and Bandwidth (traffic) is the section you need to look at rather than unlimited email addys etc but at least you hopefully have some idea of what to look for. I'm sure many people will say try this company or this one so the choice is up to you and your wallet.

What I was mainly asking about was how much bandwidth and how much storage on average you get for X amount of money.
Also, how hard is it to actually put together a basic site, how would I learn to upload images, actually make the page...

Buy some PC mags and look at the adverts...site building can be as easy or as difficult as you want to make it...FTP programs (uploading files) can be bought for pennies or downloaded free...most decent webhosting will come with a FTP program provided. Take a look at my site (click in the signature) it ain't fancy but gets the job done and all done with the program Frontpage that some people call poison (I like it as it is a wsiwyg program) but then I got Frontpage with MS office so I didn't have to go to any lengths to get a better program. It is well overdue for a redesign but other things come up so it will happen one day

Whos your ISP Pyro. Some of them offer web space with the service. Check out this link. A little reading and some clicking around and I put these up in a couple hours. Follow the links Then go raise some Hell In the Capo Fan Club. See last page in the club for my posts. I know it a fancy but it gets the mission done

I think Clare has a new stalker

I use optimum online at home, I don't think they give me anything, and here I have 50MB on a network drive that I cannot even figure out how to get to from my computer so thats pretty useless.

LOL whos the old one and whats a stalker? Figured I might as well use some bandwidth I'm paying for and learn some of this web stuff. Its not great but not bad for my first try. That pps is my first one to, I know it needs work. Have to learn some FrontPage stuff next. Now you gave me a complex.LOL
