Need some web Server space

[SCCA]

Thinking about getting a web site for my car racing team to be.

I have no idea even how to start short of checking to see if my web address is taken.

What does topgun charge? Do you have web site tools like godaddy and others I have looked over?

I am not an HTML guy, but I suspect I could learn the basics.

Help me get started Gato..

Okay, the first thing you need is the domain name. Yeah, we have some tools, but the best way to really find out what and how is to talk to Sam. You can email him at either the 613 email or at topgunhosts@yahoo.com. HE can advise you much better than me, I just own the server, he does almost ALL the work. I know we have a thing called xoops, and that is how the 613th and 708th sites were made. HTML was used on cobsbonsai.com and there forums and my web site are php. There are templets.
As for cost, that all goes as to what you need and want. But, I say again, talk to Sam. To be honest, I own around 1/2 dozens sites and Sam has set up almost all of them.
BTW, if you go to yahoo to get the domain name, you can get it for around $2.00 and don't have to buy web space from them. In order to get the low price on go daddy, you have to get web space also. In the long run yahoo and using us is cheaper. I know, we have checked it out. They may have more 'bells and whistles', but as I found out (with much fear) building a site isn't really that hard once you have a little help. Ask Krazy, we host his site. When I say building it isn't that hard, I don't mean getting it exactly like you want. That takes some time and work, but if you want easy, there is easy.

Thanks Gato. Until I had the duh moment and remembered you owned a hosting company I was thinking about going with their deluxe plan detailed here https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/hosting/shared.asp?app%5Fhdr=&ci=5652 Let me know what an equivalent package would be. I am sure I can find some development tools to get me started.

Yeah, we have about the same tools they have. I don't think you really need 150 gig of space, at least not for a site. If I remember right, the whole 613th site (including the forums) is on a 500 mg space. I don't want to quote a price here in open forums, but I can make you a sweeeeet deal. As an example, the first month free (with no commitment) and nice discounts if you stay after that and pay a year at a time. IF you want, you can call me or give me your number and I can call you.
