I’m Building A Portfolio Website For Myself. What’s The Best Way To Host It?

Category: FAQ   Time: 2009-10-26   Tags: , , , , , ,

I know that godaddy.com does the whole web hosting thing for like a two dollars. But they also have a “.coms” available for ten. What’s the best thing to do. I’m a advertising student, and I want a site to impress potential employers. I don’t like the look of geocities and google sites. I’m willing to pay, I just need to know what’s best.

    I thing you are confusing a few things. You can register a .com domain for $10/year or so, but that just gives you the name. Web hosting is where you site will actually be set up, at godaddy that will cost you about $5 or $6 per month.
    The look of your site will controlled completely by yourself. Its typically the free web hosts that want to impose their look on to your site, but not all in fact will do that
    Godaddy hosting will do you just fine.

    Try this : just click and type can build the whole website easily
    All files can managed with admin system without learning complex FTP/webeditor softwares
    building a real website with .com or your domain name
    is like having a physical store
    3 steps you need to complete
    1. find a physical store (find a server/virtual host)
    you may rent or do it by yourself or but it
    Rent-means you need “virtual host” (search engine can help you)
    Do it by yourself – find a computer and set it as a server
    2. put your commodities in your physical store (uploading your contents to server)
    Web contents are placed to the server(photos or texts)
    any function you need can install in this stage
    3. name your physical store (domain name setting like http://www.tsmmc.com)
    let visitors can link to your website by setting DNS server
    you may set such server by yourself
    try outsourcing of it – you will save a lot of time

    suggest you visit http://www.hostingcouponoffer.com they come with a free domain name, unlimited webspace and bandwidth.
    Also when you go with the hosting enter discount code 25OFF for 25% off all their plans.
    I have several sites with them and have been more than happy with their help and support.
    Hope this helps

    I use godaddy and would recommend it. If you want to impress then you have your own .com yourname.com is always a good one for portfolios.
    Unless your name is BradPitt then you are sh1t out of luck because I’m guessing your domain name might be a bit hard to get :)
