who do you use to buy a web domain name?

[mvshutter 2009]

i built a website using iweb 09 and published it using a trial of mobile me. i don't want to use the website name it gave me. how can i change the name on my site? or how do you build and publish your site? i dont want to use smug mug or anything like that. i just pretty much want an online portfolio

I use 'ICDSoft.com' to host my domains (I have two websites).

I use 'Notepad++' to do the coding and I upload (FTP) it using 'FileZilla'.

I register through Dotster.com and host all my sites through midphase.com.

LOL....hey neighbors!

[snakekid]

anything ICANN certified would do. godaddy.com?

use godaddy to register a domain name. if you look online for coupons, you can get like 5 years for under $40. you won't find better than that and it's a reputable company.

I bought my domain names & get my hosting from GoDaddy.com

[hypertech]

I use 1and1. They don't seem to have all the little charges godaddy sneaks in especially after the first year (anonymous registration, etc).

For hosting, I am with hostgator. I found a good coupon and bought 3 years of hosting.

GoDaddy ... easy as pie

godaddy :-) Domain & hosting

[doctorgonzo]

I use GoDaddy for purchasing my hostname. It's the cheapest. But I would definitely stay away from them for hosting your website. For that, I use HostGator.

Network Solutions here.
Be careful about who you use. Some will require you to use their service for hosting and limit services like web forwarding.

bluehost here

Bluehost requires that you purchase their hosting services in order to do web forwarding. I made that mistake.
