I need advice on web hosting and such
I'd be willing to pay (a little! -- to you or DU) for somebody to guide me with website hosting advice! (Too little to post this in "marketplace.")

I've got two websites/domains, and I think the plans I've been using have me paying alot per month for space I don't use. Meanwhile, I'd like to add a little chat, message board or blog 'comments' option for some interactivity, but my hosting service doesn't explain the options well enough for me to understand and I'm clueless. So I'm throwing my money away on stuff I don't need, and I don't know how to add stuff I'd like.

I'm using FrontPage and Hostway.

Please let me know if you can help!

1. sorry ... we don't accept payments ...
but here's some free advice ...

i do some work with a non-profit organization that is hosting their website on www.crystalTech.com ... their service has been very good in the short time i've used them ...

they provide just about every piece of software you could ever want ... for example, i know their "standard package" includes blogging software ... they support frontpage and many other development tools ... i'm not familiar with Hostway ...

some time in the last month or so, they announced a huge increase in disk space allocations for all their customers and no extra charge ... you also get a bunch of email accounts and all kinds of other stuff ...

the only downside i've seen is that their support is purely for hosting ... if you have questions about how to do something in Frontpage, you're on your own ...

check their website ... i would definitely recommend them if you can find a price you like ...

2. I use globat as my host
They have some awesome deals. I've been with them for 2 years now and am VERY satisfied. Their tech support--which I have to say I've had very little call to use--is outstanding. They actually helped me debug some simple scripts, which blew my mind--I thought they'd tell me they couldn't do that sort of thing, but they actually helped.

Anyway, you can find them here:

www.globat.com

As for other issues you might have, PM and I can help out. :)
