Setting up a website...

[goodieboy]

Hey guys, I'm thinking of setting up a website to try my hand at some business (It'll be nothing to do with neo though). What I'm asking is, say I registered a site at (you need an account to see links), I'm paying around $180 for 3 years of my domain. Is that all the costs I have to pay for setting up a site? Or is the $180 purely registering a domain and I'll still need to pay for a server? Thanks for clearing things up!

You can get the domain for like $5 a year.

Hosting you can get for around $5-10 a month depending on your requirements.

Then if you want e-mail addresses for your domain that's extra.

@(you need an account to see links), UGH blue host

It includes the hosting but you have to deal with their freaking cPanel. Good luck -_-

What's up with cPanel?

Hostgator is also similar, I've used them in the past.

It makes me cry xD
It's just annoying as hell. I use hosting24.com and the interface is divine

I pay $10 for domains (generally .com, though I own a more expensive .nu)
and $36.21 /yr for hosting

That's $46.21/yr, 138.63 for 3 years. This does not include any coupon codes for hosting or domains though.

You can use

(you need an account to see links)
(you need an account to see links)
for domains


I use (you need an account to see links) for hosting, i found some 50% off forever coupon code that's why.

Thanks for your input @esperato @(you need an account to see links) @(you need an account to see links).

What do you think is the most user friendly host? Oh and if I decide to use (you need an account to see links) for hosting, the server will be in canada right? My target audience is actually all the way in asia, does it affect anything? Sorry I'm a little noob
