I Am Looking For A Good Webhost - Please Help!

BDBopper · 10-23-2007, 07:26 AM

Good morning LoT'ers!

A good friend of mine who is starting up a business (music instruction and gig playing) has come to me and wants a website created and maintained for his business (he is willing to pay for my services). Before I even start working on a contract I would like to have my mind made up on a decent web host.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I know there is an ad for Lunarpages at the bottom. Do you recommend them?

Thanks for your help I am really looking forward to being employed!

Windows/IIS?
Linux/Apache?
Coldfusion?
.net/ASP?
Python?
Pearl?
Ruby?
Ajax?
SQL Server?
MySQL?

What's your pleasure?

Yikes! I'm just a beginner. My head hurts now LOL

Sounds like you are quite the expert Moonliner. Since my friend's business is small I don't need to come up with something spectacular. Just something simple but something that would drive some business to him and help him out (which in turn would increase my profit). I am looking for something that is inexpensive and easy to use. Thanks!

Yep. We just saw that on Broadway a week and half ago. It is what inspired the post.

I have my "The Internet is For Porn" mouse pad.

Lunarpagaes has been great to us! I recommend them highly.

OK, so I'll assume you are looking to build a simple static web site. That is one that is just a page with info about your friend without anything fancy like message boards, on-line account maintenance and the like. For that all you really need is either A) some graphics arts ability, or B) A place you can pinch some graphics from.

As NA suggests take a look at the lunapages (which hosts LoT). They provide you with the Coffeecup software for simple web design. I use a lot of their software and recommend it. You could start with the basic $6.95 plan and move up to a multi-site hosting plan if you need to in the future.

Thank you everyone. that's exactly the feedback I was looking for. Lunarpages it is! Do they have a program where If I told them that LoT recommended them that you would get a stipend? I definitely want to tell them you sent me if they do.

When they sign up, click on the ad at the bottom of the LoT page to get there, that will give us the referral credit.
