I am writing to congratulate myself publically for receiving my first domaining parking payout ever.

granted during my first 2 months of domaining my parked domains have spent more time in the transitional phase caused by my frequent newbie dns changes, til I came across above.com which apparently does not cause any dns transition delay when switching my parking accounts.. I still did manage to get paid!

so it is official. Bodis has added 9 cents to my paypal account today.

this is purely symbolic to me. and I am rather excited and look forward to a much brighter future.

was looking some hosting places .. anyone has experience or comment with justhost? vs for instance gatorhosting that was mentioned here before.. ? justhost was rated best in few sites I saw.. partly due to current promo maybe.

if okay for justhost, should I bother with the most expensive plan on foto below, or mid one enough? they are linux only it said, but I don't think that matters?
thanks.

go for d mid, d last cost around $20/mon that's almost d same price to buy an unlimited plan at resellerspanel nd can create up to 70 cpanel accounts nd unlimited domains. so go for d middle option.

jesus.. I so hate newbies.

scrap that idea I'm going exatly nowhere for hosting.. other than where I already am, which is godaddy cause I ain't doing no transfers of nothign to nowhere for my domains.

well.. let's just hope godaddy has some nice hosting features and options and prices.

thank you all for the tips! much appreciated.

What transfers are you referring to?
If you have used parking companies other than godaddy then you already know how to change your name servers which is all you have to do to host with a different provider.

no sorry.. to confuse
I was talking about hosting
I wanteed to go to another hosting company but then realized my domains are mostly hand regs locked at godaddy.. so its big hassle to transfer.. plus extra costs probably etc.. i just say this cause I had a brief chat with someone at justhost.com and they said there is a transfer involved.. :)

but turns out godaddy offers unlimited domain hosting now for $6/month paid one year upfront.. or $10 per month if each month paid.

so its real close to justhost offer.

so I should be good to take it there and start my wordpress developing. can't be worse than parking for 9 cents per month, plus it'll teach me about developign and wordpress and hosting

sorry to confuse. like I said I hate newbies.

thanks!

p.s. godaddy hosting offer screenshot:

No worries, and you should host them where ever you feel offers the best service but just to be clear. You can keep all of your fresh hand regs at godaddy and still use whichever hosting company you want for your websites.
I don't want to add to your confusion but I also don't want you to think that you can't chose the hosting company that you feel provides the most value just because Godaddy happens to be your registrar.
My domains have never left godaddy but I've used several different hosting companies to put my websites up.

I'm sorry if I'm misunderstanding your situation. :roll:

all good. to hate yoru weakness is the only way to overcome them... so that's all I meant whne I joke around hating myself for being newbie hahaha..

but hey.. I never hosted anything in my life so when the sale rep I chatted with few moments back on justhost.com said something like: "you need to transfer your domains to us first"
I took that to mean I need to transfer them fully. not just servers change like for parking :)

hmm.. wait a minute.. now that I think of it.. maybe this isn't 'my fault after all.. cause the dude said "so you must get unlock codes from godaddy" hmmm.. this is fishy. oh well maybe it was just two newbies talking. or he was looking to make some extra money for justhost trying to get people to transfer all their domains to them for hosting! :)



thanks a lot! cheers

You don't have to transfer your domain to justhost, all u have to do is change nameservers. I think the hosting plans are close. I've never used godaddy for hosting but I have my domains with them and one other company. Good luck anyways....

thanks a lot for all yoru input on this. it's appreciated.
i must have got confused by the part about getting unlock codes from godaddy to host at justhost, and those were exactly the words the rep used in chat.

so if no unlock codes are needed and only a simple parking like nameserver change is needed.. then this can still make half decent front page storY:

"justhost chat reps telling people they need to transfer all their domains to justhost if they want to host them there"

but..

"stupid, annoying newbies" makes a nice front page title too

;)
cheers

Don't be too hard on yourself! everyone on this forum has been a newbie at some point.

The Justhost rep was just doing his upsell bit because they want your renewal fees every year imo.

well.. no worries bud.. for some of us being hard on themselves is the only way to get somewhere... it all depends on where it is you wanna get ;)

seriously? sale rep can do this and outright lie to people like this? wow. I don't know about you, but if that's how justhost does it then I don't wanna be on justhost.

P.S. Check out A2 hosting if you get a chance. I like their service more than the others I have used.

Bodis right? It took me a long time because I parked at Sedo but the money was worth few domain renewal.
But still first things are very precious in life just like the first kiss.. ;) :D

It does get better...I did $19.39 in parking revenue today! That doesn't happen everyday, but at least should give you encouragement to hang in there for the long run.

Lately, every time a domain of mine gets really good revenue, it gets blocked by Google and thus faillisted at the parking platform. Very frustrating as I have no control over what the traffic looks like.

just out of curiosity, what do you people think about simplying the development process by getting some plan at Weebly or some similar place... and developing/creating sites there? is this a good alternative to hosting at godaddy/hostgator/etc? is it better or it simply does not work for what I want to do.. and is no alterantive at all as result

I checked and they offer wordpress integration, adsense.. and probhably everything else you can think of in terms of developping/montizing domains with ads..

am I missing something here?

hmmmm.. I hope this is not something they do outside of parking sites.. like developed sites with wordpress or adsense.. cause I'm getting all pumped and prepared for developping here. ;)

pardon the monologue.. in case anyone is wondering, the reason why people do not use weebly or its kind to develop/host websites is cause weebly allows developing only one site per plan payment. so to develop 10 sites, one needs to pay weebly 10 times their starter plan..

thnaks but no thanks, i'll stick to gator hosting wordpress etc..

weebly = no support wordpress anyway.. though they have full adsense integration

thanks for your help and tips on hosting.
