I Need Cheap Easy Crap Free Hosting And Domain Reg

[Twimfy]

I'm looking for a service that will give me very simple web hosting and domain reg for a good price, but I dont know who to go with.

Basically I want to register www.stctg.whatever as long as it isnt too long an extension. Space isnt really an issue although bandwith would be useful as my current free space wont even let me upload flash animations of around 500k, and I dont want any ad banners or pop ups.

Also are there any special requirements needed to set up a forum, I'm sick of using EZboard and was thinking of jumping to invision board.

I have googled all of this, but I'm sick of trawling through flashy offers. I'm not new to any of this I'm just hoping someone knows of someone particularly good to sign up with, usually for my clients I just hit the first one and stick it on their credit card.

Thanks in advance.

i use servage.net at the mo they give 5.1 gig storage 330gig bandwidth and unlimited pop3 mysql etc and a domain for $7.50 a month paid every 3 months by paypal,, i love these guys,, if you wanna sign up use this http://www.servage.net/?coupon=cust10615 as then i get 2 free monaths and you get 200meg extra,, so might aswell

LOL commission

If that's 330gb a month, very nice deal, although you'd be lucky to use up 5gb.

 

[Twimfy]

Yeah, I've checked that one out, its probably what I'll go with, just waiting to get paid...

 

[meandu229]

yeh its 330gb and ii have never gone about 1.5% i dont think ,, haha, but if any1 here every decides to use servage please use that ref link as it will help me and you,, thankyou

 

[yaustar]

Anyone know any decent ones in the UK?

I found this but cant find any reviews

[meandu229]

once again,, servage,, as i have posted above they are good for UK as money comes out of paypal so gets converted there so please use referal link above if you do,, servage by the way have great customer services,, i had a few enquires about php and they got back to me within the hour on both occasions,,
looked at the site you had and for cheaper than the starter package you get twice as much storage4 times as much bandwidth, unlimited subdomains(10 on netpivital),unlimited sql(5 on pivital)(usful for forums and guestbooks) and unlimited pop3 email account(1,000 on net pivital).. I no i sound like a sales man but i fell into a trap when i first set up a site, now i am really happy with this company. although if you are a novice then pivital may be better as they have templates by the looks of it, where as servage do not and is aimed at people who can actually make websites

I already have my website, its just a simple html affair with a bit of flash, but I'm just tired of using free website space where anything uploaded over 500k just gets rejected. Will be nice to have my own e-mail address outside of hotmail too.

Just set up my forum at http://twimfy.proboards40.com and can't wait to have a site to refer people to, makes me feel all professional.

i know what you mean u want a nice .com/.co.uk name,, but if i were you i wouldnt use one of those boards,, download a open source board or even a invision board like this one(trial) and host your self then you know you have complete control over it

To be honest I've never been happier with a board. I'd never heard of them before, ad I have to say I'm really impressed, there's little I don't have control over.

 

[Rico]

Well watch out because this dude is heavily hyping Servage so you use the referral. There are cheaper services for what you need. 330gb a month is overkill.

As for the forum, it's a script called YaBB. You could install it yourself

 

[meandu229]

i agree with rico fully i am hyping servage as i like everyone would like free hosting, and 330gb is alot of overkill, although it nice to know you will never go over it, as for cheaper ones i couldn't find any but that was a while ago and Yabb is a very good board and that is the sort of board i meant you should use but if you happy with your current board use the philosophy if it aint broke dont fix it,, although i prefer the if it aint broke it dont do enough one.

Well, with only 3 members I'm not too fussed, its only for simple discussion and hosting pictures.

Only 2 days till I can get my domain!!

 

[Rico]

Well once you get more than a few screenshots out I'm sure you'll have more than 3 members! That 2D OoT remake has hundreds I think. Of course most of them are just posting 'IS IT DONE YET?' threads once a day, but that's what being a content provider on the internet is all about.

 

[Twimfy]

Yeah, thats true, if anything my forum is there in attempt to recruit helpers competent with 3D modelling and game design but at the moment I'm getting plagued by 12 yr olds who think Shadow is da best fing EVA!!!111 OMFG!!!111.

I posted a few times on the Sonic fan game HQ and I found they're often quite hostile and far to wrapped up in a community thats been around for years to give a shit as to what any new member might think or have to show (sounds a little familiar )

As for more screenshots, well there will be a substantial amount on the way, I'm just away from home for a few days, I'm currently kicking out a model a day which is good progress for me and I'm slowly talking my house mate into making some high quality character models for me in blender (with morph targets and everything *drool*).

My ultimate goal as far as a website goes, is to create something which makes me look like I really want to do this seriously; which I do, If I could get a level minded team together who knows what progress could be in the next few months.
