Just a quickie, Im useless with domains and all that malarky. Im about to get a .com for my new portfolio. I dont think i want any thing fancy. Any thoughts on what’s best these days to register with and host it? thanks in advance.
Edit- ooh yeah, and how much would i expect to pay for 2 years host and register? Cheers all.

Yeah I like it too.
hmm… I have always had a friend with large server host my sites… so I am always hosted for free with unlimited space. I would be lost if I didn’t have him. As far as hosting goes.

Godaddy is like $8 and dotster is $15 So Doteasy isn’t a good choice.

I have about 100 domains registered with [Hostway.com](http://Hostway.com). They have great customer service and their admin panel is very easy to use. They’re also only about $7 a year for the domain.
For hosting I would go with one of our fellow members. Help support the community. RedGolgi or Unflux… anyone else host?

[www.siteflip.com](http://www.siteflip.com) for hosting and domains through them. It’s the cheapest you’ll find, and it’s amazing service, plus tons of features. The registering even allows you to manage all of your domains from one page (IE change dns/parking/etc). Only $1 a month for hosting, 100 MB Space + 1 GB Bandwith.
