OT - Website Hosts and Costs

[axeldoomeyer]

Alright, I have noticed that most of you guys have a website. I am a Web Designer by trade and I am working on a website that might interest knife makers; however, the purpose of this post is not to sell something. I am just curious who your web host is and what your monthly cost is for hosting your website. What are some features that you like? What are some features that you dislike? Also, how much time do you spend keeping your site up to date (i.e. Adding more knives to your gallery, shop photos, etc...)? Do you accept payments on your website? If so how do accept payments (i.e. Paypal, Bidpay, etc...)? If you have paid for someone to develop your site what did it cost (if you are willing to tell)?

im working on getting something set up and so far the cost for setting up the site is a custom folder and maybe later down the line if i want to upgrade maybe another knife
its a friend thats doing it
also anytime i can barter a trade i try to go that way

HEHE... Ya that is the way that I normally work if possible. I designed a website for an individual and the cost was a brand new grizzly drill press.

i am still building mine up, but i went thru yahoo. its about $10 per month, no contract, and they have so good tools to build the site. it was very easy to use.
