I use Google Apps for my domains: http://www.google.com/a/cpanel/domain/new http://www.google.com/a/cpanel/domain/new It's actually cheaper than GoDaddy. With GoDaddy, it's $10/year plus $10 to keep the WHOIS anonymous. Otherwise, you'll have your name and contact info publicly available to anyone who requests a WHOIS on your domain (which means you get spammed). With Google, you get both the domain and the anonymity for $10/year.
For hosting, I've been using Linode, which is a virtual private server. I had to install everything on the Linux server myself (Apache, Rails, web security, etc.). It sets me back $20/month, but I can put hundreds of websites there. Right now I have probably about a dozen there.
For 2rgb.com, I'm trying out heroku.com. The hosting starts out completely free (and no ads). You pay only when you get more traffic. And you don't have to set up the server at all (like I did for Linode). You just send it your code. It might be a Ruby-only host, though.
- jrussino 17y agoThanks! I'm going to try out heroku as well.
