Hi all, I'm hoping that I can "pick the collective/community brain" for just a second...<br>
<br>
First, I'm looking to set up a web site, & I'd like to request solutions for a good domain name registrar & a good hosting service. (Obviously I'd prefer a Linux environment.) As far as the registrar goes, I have reasons that I'd prefer not to use GoDaddy and Dotster, but AFAIK any other U.S.-based group should be OK...<br>
<br>
Second, the 'Free hardware' thread got me to thinking - I have an idea for a pretty basic system I'd like to build, but I need a hard drive. If I wasn't looking for work at the moment, I'd just pick one up from Micro Center (or where-ever), but I'm trying to keep costs to a minimum. If anyone has an IDE hard drive around 60 Gb or so that they could let go fairly inexpensively, please contact me off-list.<br>
<br>
Thanks all, I appreciate any help you can give.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I have heard really good reviews of 1&1 for both. They have several options for linux virtual servers and virtual hosting. Prices look pretty good as well.<br><br>I more than likely have several IDE drives that I can clear data from and you can have them. I think one is 120 or 160GB. I have to dban them and shutdown the server.<br>
