Geekside is awesome. Jon is really helpful and speedy with his tech stuff.

If you're looking to not pay or something. You can check out quite a few servers to avoid it. Check out Comic-toast's forum. Alot of the server admins post there.

You can also click on my sig and give into commericalism and be another consumer whore.

Oh and the cheapest quality VS price domain register is Aplus.net.

Thanks :)

I got too impatient to wait for replys.
I signed up with geekside and I just used the registrar they suggest which is godaddy.com

:)

Now all I need to do is get into on PHP scripts :confused:

I've tried using it, and it seems wasy to set up (I never did use it, since my host didn't support PHP >< )

god dammit
I'm so impatient!!!!!!
I hate that the DNS servers take 24-48 hours to update.
grrrr
:disappoin

Did you already get your account email? wow. It took like 3 days for me to get it.

magizedd, planetsourcecode is a pretty good place for scripts, but it's SO SLOW. i'm trying to load the search page right now.

Xoom
oh yeah, this should be in the website help subforum.

Domain Names at GoDaddy (http://www.godaddy.com)

Hosting at OktaGone (http://oktagone.net)

Threeboy
i agree with xelo, only cause oktagone hosts all my stuff.

They're the most affordable out there. I've never seen anywhere else where I get 10 gigs of bandwidth for only $2.50 per month.

If only that limited time special offer was still there...

Xelopheris
Geekside is overpriced majorly compared to Oktagone. Their 'silver' deal is worse than the lowest deal on Oktagone. You get less space, less MySQL Databases, and double the price. Not to mention they're windows servers (Nothing else can provide .ASP support).

Commander Keen
I got the same deal as Oktagone's lowest elsewhere with no setup fee. Their banner here says no setup fee, but if you click it, it says there is. I'd reccomend Oktagone 'cause their about as cheap as you can get. I've tried cheaper stuff and they've always found a way to try to screw me over... $5 - 10GB of BW. Don't try for cheaper! (Except that free junk that gives you site spam...)

Xelopheris
I would like to see this better deal. Also, that banner is from last month, when they had the no-setup-fee special.

What about them? I've rad them & I don't see any conflict between this thread & the rules.

Xelopheris
Fuitad was pimping out his services. Not only is he evading his ban, he's also breaking the advertising rule.

Commander Keen
Fuitad? I've seen that name only once. It was on the 8-Bit Theatre contact page. Why were they banned?

Xelopheris
He used to own this site. Then when he was desperate for money, he sold it to Threeboy. However, he still remained 'staff' on the page for programming purposes. After an argument about the ads, Fuitad changed the root password on the server and deleted the site. He was banned after that.

Commander Keen
:O_O: That's a pretty low thing to do...
