Finding the Right Web Hosting Service & Domain Name Cost

AI Thread Summary
When seeking a reliable web hosting service, the choice largely depends on the site's needs, particularly bandwidth requirements. For a basic site with low traffic, hosting can be quite affordable. A typical domain name costs around $10 per year, while combined hosting and domain services can total approximately $70 annually for a small site. Bluehost is recommended for its strong support and reliability, with positive feedback from users. Other hosting options like Phillips Data are also mentioned as good alternatives.

Could somebody recommend to me a good web hosting service? Also, how much will a domain name cost me per year?

A domain name, assuming you aren't trying to get something that is already taken, should cost you maybe $10 a year. As for hosting, it depends on what you want. If you need a lot of bandwidth then it will cost you, but if you are just running a small site that won't have many visitors you can host a site relatively cheap. I used to have a domain name and a host, and I recall it costing about $70 for a year, and was quite reliable. Though I did not have much on my site, and probably less than 10,000 hits throughout that year.

Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
