well im obviously looking for a webhost.....for now it doesnt have to be offshore as i wont be putting any illegal materials on it yet...lawl..

i just want something to start off...you know just to play around with hosting and stuff...i want something really cheap but with a BANG!!!

first is it good to purchase hosting with the free lifetime domain name?? or is it better to just purchase it on sites like godaddy or namecheap?? cause they seem cheaper that way?!?!!? but idunno if there good in the long run.

also can someone tell me more about this site and/or company?!?!

http://webhostingpad.com

are they legit?? or does it look like bs....

also any recommendations that look like they can beat that site plz tell me ;)

those kinds of sites it seems theres alot of features and goodies.....but what seperates all those hosting apart from each other?? is it there special features in them?
Well, first off... I wouldn't get a "free lifetime domain" with some crappy web host. I buy all of my domains (now-a-days) through http://www.name.com

They've been reliable, and VERY cheap compared to competitors. GoDaddy.com has became too expensive, and they charge for private registration. Quite ridiculous.

As for hosting, I go with http://www.hostgator.com

They're relatively cheap, and you get the best service there is around. They are the best hosting experience I've ever had, to date.

As for "WebHostingPad.com".. They've had some bad reviews.

http://www.web-hosting-top.com/web-hosting/web-hosting-top.webhostingpad.com

I'd not get them if I were you, as I think they'll be nothing but a hassle. Of course, I could be very wrong.

As for features, most sites have around the same features, but I'd check first and see what all you get.

If you're trying to get WebHostingPad because of the price and features, make sure you read the reviews. If you want a quality experience with a good service, go with http://www.hostgator.com
first off i like to say it is very nice of you to reply and reply with detailed exaplanation ;) knew i could trust wddb!!!

second yeah hahaha i kinda choosed webhostingpad cause the price and well the unlimited everything xD......but like i could get 3 years of hosting for only 80 bucks.....isnt that like cheap as hell?? lawl is it worth it ?? also read their reviews guess your right lol more bad than good.....but their awards are also.....soooo tempting lol

anyways yeah right now im on hostgator and i was able to get 1 month of free business service from a coupon

i havent really explored it enough to really do much....but no free domain ;( lol that means i gotta pay more...like 10 bucks more

hmm also i checked that name.com...looks interesting....gonna check all these out...also might stay with hostgator as they have been getting good stuff!

but im just afriad hostgator is gonna close me down for some stupid stuff im gonna do lol

might need offshore hosting also just to host some other stuff
I'm pretty sure that hostgator would shut you down for illegal activity. Yes, you'd need an offshore hosting to do the "stupid" stuff you plan on doing.

As I said before, price is something that shouldn't be your top priority when renting web space. Yeah, webhostingpad is cheap, but I really don't think it's worth the $80.00 for something you won't be happy with.
Hi,
I am also confused on this matter because there are many peoples which can provide this type of services.
if you have any site about this matter which one is good for you and me so please let me know.
Thanks

I currently don't know of a trusted website which will give you such information, but I can't say that one does not exist.

This site is hosted by www.1and1.com. I have hosted a few other projects with them, and I honestly have no complaints. They have continually offered me more services without an increase in price. Honestly, I have been nothing but satisfied.

To be fair, however, I've only used one other webhost.

Good luck!
