My specialty is computer repair and I haven't built a web site let alone looked for hosting in 5-7 years . A guy that I work for is wanting to start some kind of e-commerce site selling food products or processed food products. I'm not 100%, but he wants to start an online business... that much I do know. A friendly/easy to use user interface is a welcome preference. I don't know yet if he wants to create it or have the web hosting site create his site/store for him. I'm assuming the later since neither he nor I have experience in this department. He's looked at GoDaddy and 1&1 so far. He has GoDaddy for his regular construction business, but it's not a commerce site/web store so it's a little bit different than this. Any ones you guys recommend? Thanks!
1&1 .... CafePress I'd say it's better to hire somebody to create your website rather than have the web hosting company create it... just saying.
Yeah, that's not a bad idea. The most in depth I got with web-hosting back in the day was geocities and angelfire, lol. Suggestions for any guys in town locally would work too. He's on 45 and 1960 essentially. Clutch?
I suggest hostmonster.com to my clients, and of course I build their sites for them. Going with a cookie cutter site is a double-edged sword, so I suggest against it.
Interesting man, I didn't know you did websites. Would you mind emailing me some examples of sites you've designed?
Tried to update my thread title to "looking for web site designers", but it failed :\ lol. I know a few of you do websites, so if you think you'd be interested in earning some money and are dependable/reliable/etc, then reply in this thread please . Preferably Houston/Spring based contacts.
Stopped "recommending" a long time ago and just share their hosting within my plan in 1and1.com . They don't have to deal with hosting bills, only my design/plan/development bill.
hostgator.com is a Houston based business with a fair pricing scheme. If you use the coupon code "Houston" you get the first month free.
It depends on how complex you want the site to be. I would recommend outsourcing it to an Indian company. You'll get better pricing that way.
