Looking to reserve a domain name. I don't know what I'm doing. I'll probably transfer to a site specifically designed for us photogs later on, but just want to reserve it now. I'd rather avoid GoDaddy. Namecheap.com? any others? Seems as though a .com should cost about $10/year? Thanks

John offers a really good service and support for POTN, or anybody, and his actions back his words.

I've been developing a new site and John has responded quickly and with great information every time I needed assistance.

Get your domain name there, take the time to build and test sites there, learn there.

I don't have a lot of time for this project I've started, so it is really great that I can do these things with John's support.

registering your name with go daddy is a good idea, just don't sign up for any of their services. When you make your decision on where to host your site you will just change 2 or 3 DNS numbers to your web host. I like this set up because then you can keep all your domain names in one place even if you decide to have multiple sites at different web hosts later on. You also might want to transfer single domains from one host to another at a later date.

Not that you couldn't do it another way but it works for me. I have probably 10 domain names (for myself and others) registered at go daddy, but hosted elsewhere.

Looks like Go Daddy or Namecheap would cost me about $10 a year just to reserve a domain name. but John's here would cost $40/yr? Hm..

Read the whole thing. $40 is the cost of a year of hosting. $9.12 is the cost of registering a domain.

John is fantastic- I've been using him for 2 years.

$40 per year is great. I have an el-cheapo basic hosting plan at a mediocre web-hosting company and I pay nearly double that ($6 per month).

Another +1 for John's service. I'm hosting with him and finally got my site up and running last weekend. He's very responsive to questions.
