[CS-FSLUG] Need recomendations for Domain and Web Site Hosting

[Timothy R. Butler]

Thanks everyone for your kind recommendations of my services. :-)

Regarding domains, I can vouch for Dotster's service... I like them a 
lot and their admin interface is nice. If you are going for the el 
cheapo side though, 1&1 is the cheapest at that I know of at just 
$5.95/yr. I registered a few domains with them... their site is slow 
but once the domains are registered, of course, everything works the 
same.

I suspect they price the domains so cheap in hopes that people will use 
their mass-marketed hosting services.

	-Tim
