Tranfers and hosting

What are domain transfers? What do they do? Also, What is the best hosting company. Or your personal Preference, or is it godaddy again? lol.

When you transfer a domain you are moving it from one host to another. For hosting I love http://www.ipowerweb.com They have great rates and wonderful tech support. Also, if you sign up with them you get a free domain name or free transfer and there is no setup fee.

Also like to add, I would like to have a host that supports file transfers via FTP ex. cuteFTP

The majority of hosts will support that IMadmin, that is pretty much a basic standard. Some hosts will offer you telnet and ssh as well so you can login to the server and type commands in a shell and setup crontabs and stuff.

With so many hosts out there it is best to give what you will need for you website:

Space?
Monthly Transfer?
Features?

This will help others give you a good suggestion for a host.

Once you find 3 that you like go to http://www.webhostingtalk.com and post that you would like to know more about the those companies. You will get feedback from other hosts and webmasters.

Storage: 50megs & ^
Bandwidth: 10gig & ^
Features: 1 or more MySQL database, php 4 or w/e it is, cgi bin, basically everything that i need for a html/php website and forum and polls

That seems like a lot of bandwidth for only a 50 MB site

not really. not if you have the content and the traffic. hi-traffic photo
sites, with only 20 megs of content can add up pretty fast.

you should know, owning a hosting company and all.

I'm just use to seeing people wanting more space.

What is your budget?

Well the space issue, I am going to have LOTS of .jpg and .gif files stored. I am planning on having a couple differen't layouts on there. How much space would you think i need for it? I also want forum and polls.

Budget= $15.00 U.S. and down preferably
