Hello all, Nice board, seems like you got just about topic covered except web hosting! Hopefully, my posting here will let me start a new thread about my question. I'm a newbie at site design, so won't be able to contribute much, but hopefully that will change. I've been kicking around ideas for different websites I'd like to do, but I've heard you are obligated to stay with your hosting company for the year, once you sign up, so that makes me a little cautious. Cheers!
Welcome Murphy, DP is a great place to come and learn. Just help others in the process. Its the givers / gain thing that keeps this working.
Welcome to DP, Murphy As for hosting, it pays to shop around but I've learnt the hard way to steer clear of anyone who ties you into a years hosting. Most of them offer discounts if you pay a year up front, but if you aren't happy, well, getting a refund on the balance is another matter. Pay monthly, yep. If the host are naff because they are overloading the servers with users, move. Ideally get an answer to how many people you will share with.
