[wdvltalk-social] must find a host and domain.... ...update

[joseph harris]

'No place like home...' In the end I have come back to where I 
was before! 123-reg and 34sp.  This cost is just over half 
GoDaddy - £25 v £42. And I have the .info version as well for an 
extra 99p. Having found both reliable and 34sp fast responding I 
think that apart from the smtp [and the less important extra 
bandwidth] I have more or less met my target.

Many thanks for the advice and ideas; following up shook a few 
cobwebs out and gave me a good picture of what I might need 
later, as well as get as close to £0 cost as seemed possible ;-).

34sp won't open the account, but i assume that is because the 
domain isn't yet registered. Fingers crossed.

Well that is looking expensive at Godaddy. I'm looking at around
£40, which is near $80.

Still looking.

The problem with having to keep going and doing other things
(well that's my excuse) ;-). Thank you, yes now I see it.  Unless
Matt's chum turns up with something unmissable looks like that's
my route.

GoDaddy accepts PayPal.

Ah, lovely.   Thank you Christine and thank you Cheryl. Now I
just have to resolve PayPal... My old host used to do it, but
nowthey charge extra for smtp (now I know that is relay); takes
the price up.

A relay lets you bypass your ISP.  GoDaddy does have regular
email where you
setup up your POP3 and SMTP settings in Outlook, as an example.
In
addition, you have the option to use webmail.

I generally send all of my email from Outlook.  Except on
occasions when the
wireless connection has tanked and I have to use dialup.  If
something large
is coming in then I log into webmail and take a look to see what
it is, and
maybe move it to another folder until the wireless connection
decides to
work.

You can send up to 250 different email addresses per day.

Ah.   I'm about to show a bit of ignorance... I am not sure what
an smtp relay is. I am thinking of sending mails from the
desktop, but not having to go to a webmail account to do so. Can
you explain if relay is the normal availability of an smtp
server.

I could get round it, but it would be my preferred option.

Joseph,

Are you referring to SMTP relays?  If you are you get 250 free.

I had another look at your prompting and the bandwidth is
extraordinary at the extra price [yes still low] but there is no
smtp - at a pinch I can live without it - and i don't think they
take PayPal. The last is more of a problem at this moment.

Certainly a good buy. I'm considering the next move on it.

What about GoDaddy?

There are a lot of very good deals on the net, but I can't find
quite what i
need at the price I need to start at.

-.co.uk domain is easy enough and bandwidth is probably
sufficient for
starters [1500 is the least I have seen]
- low priced hosting is easy enough and the least seems to be
about £18 pa.
But I really want to have smpt - one box at the start will be
fine - but it
seems to put a big hike on the price...

Any ideas to hold the initial cost down, down, down?

TIA  -   Oh and I need to pay via PayPal.

Joseph Harris
