Webcomic Hosting

If you find what seems to be a super awesome deal (ludicrous amounts of space and bandwidth for next to nothing in monthly costs), remember that a lot of upstart web hosting companies try to win the favor of customers over older, more established businesses by offering a better deal. A lot of times, though, those newer companies fail because they can't turn a profit out their plans. Checking the 'About' page and reading a little history is a good idea.

I've lost everything before from a host that suddenly went bankrupt, and it's not good times.

You seem a bit jumpy all of the sudden. :rolleyes2 You are wrong though, as that sort of latency does make a difference when the traffic hits.

A friend is using dreamhost right now and it's worked out fine so far.

By the looks of it we'll be trying www.godaddy.com. Thanks for the link to CUSP, by the way, we'll probably also be employing that.

Bwahahahahaha.

I wouldn't recommend godaddy for a domain. It may only be coincidence that I lost control of the domain I had with them (although it was my first domain and I was much more badly educated than I am nowxD). But I also wouldn't recommend buying space and a domain from the same place.

namecheap.com seems to be a rather good enom reseller.

We're trying it out. godaddy came highly recommended by several reliable sources, so at the moment it seems our best bet.
