So I have more hosts to compare. I’m just going to do a comparison of the Yarmulka Taqueria Max Host plan and the IX Hosting Business Plus plan with the Host Monster Plan. The way I see it, the more information anyone has to decide on a host, the better. Before you sign up for anything, make sure to see if these hosts have any reviews that would sway your opinion.

The more I look, the more I find that whatever plan, whatever features you’re looking for, whatever price point you need, you’re bound to find it. You may need to make a couple of adjustments, but you’ll find something pretty close. List the features you’re looking for, find a host that has those features at the price point that you’re looking for, research the product, and go for it. Then, make sure you’re an affiliate, and write about it.

Domain Registrations

January 4th, 2008 No Comments

A few days ago, I wrote about my future domain host. I’m always looking for cheap domain name registrations, and since they had an introductory special, I used Yahoo! as my domain registrar for blowitoutyourpiehole.com in its first year. Most of my domain names are registered through Go Daddy. You can register a .com name from them for about $10, and a domain name is a domain name. As long as you get complete control over your domain registration, and your domain name servers, a domain name is a domain name. Seriously, I can’t figure out why people pay $35 a year for a domain name when you can get the identical product for a third the price.

A while ago, there was a story or two about Go Daddy’s allegedly holding some popular site domain names hostage, but I wasn’t able to find anything recently that sounds accurate.

But it’s not like Nordstrom’s where you’re paying for the name ‘Nordstrom.’ You are purchasing the exact same product, especially if it is a ‘throw away domain.’ Anyway, with your domain registration, if you really need some name servers, take a look at EveryDNS.net. At your domain registrar, whether it be Yahoo!, Go Daddy, Network Solutions, or anyone, they will allow you to set your DNS servers to everydns, and configure your everydns domain name records to point where they need be.

So now you can load up on domain names from your domain name registrar, and host them in one place for maximum enjoyment.
