I'm Canadian, and I bought from there. AWESOME customer service, and it was suggested by a lot of people here.

My domain name is through DomainSite.com. The first year was free...

YMMV

And when the moment is right, I'm gonna fly a kite.

Agreed. For me it works out a lot cheaper buying in US dollars because of the current exchange rate from £ sterling to $US.

I also use godaddy, and recommend it for all people who subscribe for my hosting.

Fuitadnet only started billing me for hosting after I had my domain name changed... a year later.

If you don't use it, your dumb.

Think while it's still legal.

I have always had really good luck with GKG.net. Whatever you do, NEVER CHOOSE NETWORKSOLUTIONS.

Cm referred me to GoDaddy, and they've worked out really well. They're really nice too. They took the time to give me a follow-up call and e-mail welcoming me to their service. I recommend them.

I tried GKG.NET on Brian's recommendation, they're ok, but they charge for services that godaddy.com gives you for free. I've switched over to godaddy.

Because your IP is logged when you register and/or post? With an IP it's easy to find your ISP and the city and state that provides your service. If you have a static IP or an always-on connection (non dialup) it's even easier to link you to your specific computer.

And I am assuming you were banned in the past. Ban evasion is a bannable offense. It would even be a fitting punishment to IP ban you from Massassi (you would get a 403 whenever you tried to browse to Massassi or a website hosted by Massassi).

These days, domains are the cheap property.
It's only that a decent server with a decent bandwidth, that is hard to keep up...

Well, I suppose you got the $$$ to shell out for other to maintain your servers.

I've tried a small array of servers for over a year for my family, god for sake just to keep it running as well as adding new features etc, is the tough to go by.

And now I have let them take care of their own selves with Mac OS X server on Mac Mini, so I don't get called like anytime they have problems...

So, that's where meekstreet.com domain went, and millennium is at mkst.jp.

I think it's less of a problem if the server is only yours, and you are the only one having problem if it gets any problems, but for running for other people, it ain't like $10 a year solution.

Besides, I think in the USA, there isn't anything cheap to get 100Mbit/s up/down bandwidth, if you want a serious content providing server up. I'm lucky that Japan gets it for like $60 a month for that.
