I use webhostinghub - excellent support 24/7 by email or phone, they respond quickly and include a free domain name in the price. Never had any downtime, cheap too (around $4 a month) if you use the coupon available on this website: http://www.hosting-review.com/hostin...eb-hosting-hub

$9.95 a year? Bargain!

Most hosting costs between $4-$9 a month, I'd love to know who you are using, want to share?

Mine includes unlimited everything including bandwidth, domains and sub-domains etc., - with my website having a lot of media (and therefore bandwidth) I needed a webhost that wouldn't charge extra for that.

Probably a thousand other sites hosted on the same server too. Which is fine...until one of them is compromised.

Ok. I don't know what that means. Should I?

I imagine you aren't running a mission critical website or profitable business via your $10 hosting?

It's business suicide to want a ".ca" domain name ending, closely followed by au or nz.

Very profitable but not because of the website.

I've used Godaddy for years. Same as AmyDavid - No issues.

Recently registered a .ca domain name with them. No problems with that either.

Default Re: .ca web names and hosting

All the hosting plans with godaddy seem to be monthly? I am with LCN in the UK and would prefer to buy a web name and then add hosting e.g. pay a years hosting rather than a fee each month? Any suggestions?

Thanks all
