When I was more involved with the web, I remember being impressed with a web hosting service. I can’t remember it’s name (that’s what I need you for), but I remember that it had a really nice website design. It’s splash page was an “infinite” rack of servers. I think it was marketed as sort of a “premium” web hosting service.
Can anyone help me? I know that’s kind of vague, but I’m hoping y’all experts can help me.
If not, then what services do you recommend? A free domain name registration would be nice, as well as unlimited bandwidth, space, etc. I realize I can do a Google search and find that, but I’m looking for personal experiences.
I don’t know if you can get free domain registration—not without strings attached, at least. Dot com domains and the like are quite cheap, anyhow. I would run a mile from anyone offering a free domain—unless it’s something like a subdomain of some free website service like WordPress.com or Weebly.
The problem with searching for something like that now, is company websites will no doubt have changed - equally they might have merged into other companies so the one you are actually after might not exist anymore.
I can’t read minds, but the “infinite rack of servers” makes me think it was “cloud” hosting.
I agree with the others, tough it up and budget what you can. eg. a “free” host may not want money but they’ll likely give you a (somewhat unprofessional looking) subdomain site URL and/or provide limited capabilites and/or plaster the pages with their advertisements.
I have sen web hosting providers that offer free domain registration when you buy hosting package, but smart thing would be to choose different companies for domain registration and web hosting.
