Web Hosting / Domain Hosting / Your Own Webpage

If you want to have your own webpage or domain, I recommend (and use) 1and1.com.  I have talked to many people who want their own webpage and want to know the easiest way, or the cheapest way.  1and1.com is both. In a nutshell, you need to have 2 things to have your own webpage. A domain, (such as SacramentoComputerHelp.com) and a web server to upload your webpages to. (Referred to as 'hosting' your webpage)  1and1.com provide both in cheap package deals. The best part however, is that all domain registrations come with FREE private registrations.  With other domain sellers, such as godaddy.com, it costs an additional fee to make your registration private. Sometimes it costs more than the domain itself!  Why do you want it private?  Because if it's not private, then anyone on the web (aka, spammers and scammers) can do a lookup of your address/Email/Phone number that you listed when purchasing the domain.  From there they can sell your information to marketers as 'verified contact information'.  There is a premium for verified contact info, so there will always be people looking to sell it.

Another bonus is the free webpage creators so you can just make your webpage online by simply typing, no programming needed.  Super easy, super cheap, and nice people. I'll be using them for a long time to come. Check them out if interested. http://1and1.com.

Here's the latest banner to show the current promotion they have going, as well as a domain checker to see if the name you want is already taken.  I used to keep updating the current deals myself, but this is a much easier way.
