Domain name and Hosting

[Pokedragonfire]

Okay, I need to think of a domain name for my site and a $5 a month kind of service to host it. It is a dragon site, but I'm not sure yet if I will have pokemon/neopets added on to it. So I kinda want a generic name, like suta-ratio.com (no pokemonland or something like that) but for now I think a dragon name would be better, like dragonslair etc. I want a .com also. I need people to think of suggestions of a domain name that isn't taken. (If it is, I will check) Also, I need to find a good host that is fairly inexpensive with plenty of bandwith and such, I'm not looking for a ton of storage. It also has to support stuff like PHP and Perl, and of cource CSS and JavaScript. Okay, anyone who can help me out with this, please help :)

Sounds good, but do you know any others? I want to compare several before I choose. And I don't need anything fancy, just cheap with the basic stuff I posted above. Thanks, I will add it to my list of possible web hosts :)

Nope, not interested in elfdragon.com but I will check out the hosting. Have to compare them all, see which one is the best for my site of course :)

Hey, pokedragon fire, i can host ya, for 25 a year, for 10 gigs b/w 250 megs space, free forum install, php, perl, ect. Oh yeah its on a duel xeon server with 4 Cpu's, enough to handle anything.

 

[aRedMoon]

500 MB storage / 15 GB bandwidth
$50 a year. (Or $5 a month)

https://www.elixant.com

Fast server, excellent support. And they'll register a domain for you if you ask 'em.

 

[Pokedragonfire]

I just heard that some hosts will own your domain name and make you pay more, if they are the administrator or something. Is this true? I don't want it to happen!!! I'll take a look at www.elixant.com. Thanks :)

 

[pokemon706]

best place to get your domain is registerfly, its 9.99 for registration, but they are always sending out coupons to me, i just renewed mine for 5.99.

 

[aRedMoon]

Hmm, not sure about them owning the domain... >>;

*remembers* Elixant is having a sale ATM, 25% of all their accounts for the lifetime of the account...

I guess I could help you think of a name or two. I'll put some key words I might use, then put them together... I'll use a .com to see what that's like...

Drake, Dragon, Castle, Flame, Fire, Breath, Keep, Serpent, Reptile, Guardian, Scale

Castle's Keep.com - ...not what I'd use, but just a suggestion, and it's probably a site anyway

Guardian Serpent.com - Maybe a bit too long, but I like it

Serpent's Scale.com - kinda catch, might be neat to use

Winged Beasts.com - I don't know, its alright I guess...

Yellow Teeth.com - kinda humorous, but I think it could be taken a step further...

Dragon's Blood.com - I don't know... just a thought

Scaled Guardian.com

Scaled Defender.com

Winged Beasts.com

Deadly Dragons.com

btw: If you haven't noticed I'm trying to avoid using the word Dragon. It's not as fun in my opinion. It's just another book report on dragons if it's named that. But it just depends. Maybe these will spring ideas into your head, or maybe you'll use them. Good luck with your website. ;)
