i need a web host!!

[QUOTE=afguy91506]do i have to have a paid host to have my web site "www.lfty.com" or can i get that with a free host? i guess i'm just looking to pay something around 5 to 6 a month...[/QUOTE]
You can use any host and have a .com domain.

ok so if i wanted my address to be www.lfty.com how could i make it that on geocities...?

Got your email, what exactly do you need?...
For geocities : http://geocities.yahoo.com/ps/learn/HowItWorks4_Pro.html

Its exactly on the frontpage of geocities.com ;)

all i'm looking for is a way to get the freaking "geocities" out of my web address.... so it will be like "www.lfty.com" tele told me that you can make your address like that in geocities but i need to know how.... and i'm saying if i cant change it from www.geocites.com/afguy91506/...... then i was just gunna pay for a web host.... but if i can do it with using geocities i will do that before buying a web host.....

P.S. please put this as simple as you can so i understand you no posting a website to go to so i can get lost in it and not know what i'm doing.... kinda talk me through it if you dont mind thanks well i'm off to bed got school tomorrow see what ya'll said tomorrow peace

I don't think you can do that at Geocities unless you pay for hosting from them - which is what Sidez was pointing at.

*nudge nudge* I personally know the customer services guy for dot5hosting. (I always brag about this whenever I get the chance lol)
so :D

Like what Marble said, you can @ Geocities but pay them $8.95/month *plus one-time setup fee $15. That excludes the domain registration fee which you have to do separately.

So what you need to pay for a domain enabled hosting is..

1) Monthly fee for just hosting. Features varies from host to host and the amount you're paying them.

2) Yearly fee for your domain, who ever you buy it from. Price also varies.

I know lazyroll has already said this, but i'd like to say it again. I've seen a lot of cheap hosts out there, but for the features you get, mediacatch is definitely the best. And they just got some better servers. :D


www.mediacatch.net

Try this site http://www.xnynz.com/ to get the web hosting and also get the domain name register, domain appraisal, online file folder, ssl certificate etc...
