Web hosting & web page building
 

I want to get into more depth of web desgin just for kicks. I'm looking for
some good sources for web hosting. I need someone that will give me my own
domain name (www.Chad.com...etc). I'm also looking for generous amounts of
bandwidth up and down. I'm in NC (Cary), and I have a roadrunner connection, so
bandwidth on my end isn't a problem. I would just set up IIS but I'm not sure
of roadrunners policies concerning it. Any suggestions?

Re: Web hosting & web page building
 

If you are looking to get someone to host your domain for you, your
connection isn't relevant.
If you are looking to do your own hosting, you need someone to put your host
entry in their domain name servers,
and the registrar that registered your domain has to update the record to
say who is running the domain name server that has your entry in it.
(Usually people who provide hosting services can also register domains for
you, but they dont have to be the same people as those who you registered
your domain with).

ok that's the theory, here's the practice.

Companys such as dyndns.org can register a .com for you and do the dns thing
for ~35 bucks per year. Importantly they are geared up to deal with the fact
that your ISP may have given you a dynamic IP address ( one which may change
every 24 hours ). This is a bummer for hosting, since it means that the
domain name server will need to be updated every 24 hours, but dyndns.org
have software which you can run which will do this for you - it spots when
your ISP has changed the address and tells dyndns.org. Or alternatively,
your broadband firewall router may do it for you ( I have 2 which know about
dyndns.org ). You don't have a firewall router ? You are insane :-)

If you want to play for free, you can. Dyndns.org will allow you register up
to 5 sub-domain names (e.g. www.chad.dyndns.org for free). Shaggie / Travis
does it this way (http://jeepadventures.dyndns.org) . There are other ones
you can pick from.

Reading this makes it look complicated - its not, honest.

Good luck !

"I'm also looking for generous amounts of bandwidth up and down." "I
have a roadrunner connection, so bandwidth on my end isn't a problem"

Define "generous amounts of bandwidth" Upload on RR isn't "generous".
And find a news group that is relevant to your topic...
