[clue-talk] Hosting recommendations?

[Nate Duehr]

p.s. My DNS host sold off their entire DNS division to some company in 
the UK (made re-registration "fun" when they didn't put some CNAMES in 
to get from their old server names/websites to the new company!), and I 
wouldn't recommend them anymore, but I'm grandfathered in on the 
original natetech.com domain + a few other features they have, for 
$9.95/yr.  The other domains are $12.95, but get a scaled discount for 
paying multiple years in advance down to $10.95, I think?

Most every hoster has a DNS registrar they either deal with, or they are 
one themselves. I'd wait until you pick a hosting site, and then see if 
they do it, first.  Often they'll do it for next to nothing if you're 
signing up to use them for hosting.

If web hosting is a commodity, DNS registration is REALLY a commodity 
these days...
