My band is looking into getting a web presence, but we're
not exactly sure what we need and where we need whatever it
is that we need from...

Our site should be relatively simple--general info pages
plus, hopefully, enough storage for some mp3s and a couple
of videos, maybe. We'll also have a forum, but that might
be with ezboard or something, and therefore not hosted on
our space.

So, with that in mind, we're hoping to get some
recommendations for web hosting services. We're on a
budget, so we don't want to pay a lot, so what provider
gives us fast, reliable service at a relatively low cost?
Also, should we reserve our domain name through the service
from which we're getting our hosting?

Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah werd. I signed up for some free webspace for 3 years
deal. Its from a site called 1&1.com

They have'nt got back to me on it thought : \

With that as your webspace I have no idea how the domain
name shit works.
I am using .tk which blows but its all I know about for
now.

Check out my other bands website www.thedeadfucks.com

I'm gonna quit soon thought cause punk rock is gap bullshit
now.

mashnote.net is hosted on 34sp.com
pretty cheap and good service.
reason why i'm changing hosts is because i could get a good
deal (x-mas promo package) somewhere else.

if you don't have a domain name yet, i suggest you order it
at the same place where you're getting hosting. so you don't
have to worry about anything (nameservers etc..).

phpwebhosing.com is a really good deal. i've heard nothing
but wonderful feedback on them. plenty of space (225MB) and
more if you ask nicely, and since they offer PHP, you could
install your own free php driven messageboard if you wanted.

milescape.com

for $9.95/m you get:

I'm using milescape, and they're probably the best host out
there, imo

nameservers are easy to use though.

as for the best host, our site is hosted on
elucidsystems.com. 5 gigs of space, 15+ gigs of bandwidth,
all the good net languages (sql & php, ideal for hosting
forums). i pay $96 a year, but the owner said we get the
'totally awesome discount' because he likes the music on the
site.

i don't know who hosts our site.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I'll talk it over with the
other band members and decide what we're gonna do.

hyakusen: What do you mean? Would you design a site for us
or what? We were going to do the design ourselves (don't
need anything amazing and don't want to spend tons of cash)
but we're open to suggestions. So what does what you're
offering entail?

Thanks again!

Just go for it - either of the suggested hosting companies
are great, but I think my suggestion gives you more space,
bandwidth and unlimited options, and it has a great online
support community.
