Alrighty. I'm comparing plans for buying a domain with hosting and all of that, going down the BBOR list (aren't you proud of me? A CB user that knows how to use that! *rolls eyes*).

I'm going to use the main domain as a personal site/blog (I'm aiming toward something like www.beccary.com)... one of the subdomains will be for an invisionfree forum, and then normal subdomains, that type of thing.

Anyhow, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, plan-wise. Lower price equals better (lol), subdomains equals better, and more space equals better, to a point. I don't need gads of empty space I'm not going to use but have to pay for, but I want to make sure that I have more than enough for forums and personal stuff, etc and so forth.

PHP and FTP are musts, I know that (even though PHP scares me, I'd need it for wordpress).

Any advice?

as a warning, i've seen quite a handful of negative feedback for this host. some said the site was down for two weeks, others complained that they downsized the hosting plans even if you already paid for it as it's stated in the TOS. the only thing users said was good is the personal support, that's all.

i'm looking for a good host, too, that's around $5/mo. I won't be able to afford anymore than that actually. sad.gif damn gas prices.

Ah, thank you so much for the offer. Currently I'm only capable of a blogging site. I've been coding websites for while, I just can't seem to code for xanga. Again, I appreciate that you offered to help, but I actually want my own domain just for the heck of it. Yea, I'm so picky. I want my own domain and webspace with a constrained budget.

Congrats, Meli! Remember to "showcase" it! The combo you mentioned is a good deal. I'll look into it, thanks!
