Greetings I bought web hosting and registered 2 domains with a company. The domains need to be renewed annually but the hosting is on a three year rotation. The renewal is going to be about 2.7 x the original hosting contract. Is this normal? What do you of those that have a personal or small business website do - - - move before renewal - - - or ????? I have managed to setup a webserver here at home. I tried to use one of my domains - - - that doesn't work because dns resolves to my host and not here. Any suggestions on what and/or how to setup things to experiment here before I go live with something? (I want to try things like horde's webmail groupware (Have it installed locally already) and other tools in the running of the business.)
webserver at home sounds fine... I can help you with your dns if you like (free of course :) ) domains - depends on the domain, like .com is about us$9 or us$9.5 per year) mail me off list if you like and i will help you :) Andre
