I signed up for godaddy last year when they had a big advertising push. I couldn't get any support. I required a static IP but they could not get it working. I could access using their url, but that was not what I needed. I canceled the service.
I just signed up at 1and1 and registered 9 domains (so far). I did this because my Google hosted domain email had the instructions so I figured that 1and1 must have a lot of clients. Anyway, the gmail is already working for one domain. The others are being processed now. Their control panel is a pain in the butt if you need to make IP changes (or whatever) for several different domains. A thousand clicks, but it is pretty intuitive and they have online help with pictures and a 'walkthru' for everything I have needed. If you need cheap registration and web hosting, they have it. They offer private domain registration free. I really don't have enough experience to recommend them yet. For just simple domain registration with a pretty good control panel for making changes to several domains, I like domainsite.com. I have many domains there. The cost is good $8/yr. I have used them for about 18 months with no problems at all. These domains are all hosted on my servers so I wanted an easy way to handle the A and MX records with no hosting, email or other options. I only want a good quality, easy DNS server and cheap registration. I definitely recommend them. They charge extra for private domain registration. If 1and1 works out, I will probably move these domains when the registration expires. I used Verio for many domains for many years since 1994-5- first with best.com near me and stayed when Verio bought them. Verio never had a single problem until they were down for several weeks last year with the Florida storms. This was caused (my opinion) by their closing all the different sites they had around the country and concentrating everything in Florida. Unacceptable. I have been slowly moving everything away from them since. I know the Florida storms are not their fault, but it is pretty stupid to put web hosting in a place where there are hurricanes and lost power every year. That is the reason I won't put everything with one ISP - remember that Lunarpages is in Los Angeles - not exactly the most stable place for something as critical as web hosting. I have accounts with them and have not had any problems other than one down day when they moved the servers recently. They gave plenty of advance notice so I was able to avoid any problems. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hal Kaplan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 07, 2006 11:09 AM Subject: RE: [NF] Web Server Advice Does anyone have an opinion to share about hosting by GoDaddy or 1 & 1?
