spoilt as I have been by having web space at work I am somewhat
uneducated about the ways and wherefores of commercial/org domain
registration. Whats the sort of cost involved in initial registration,
annual renewal, support etc
what is the best company to go through to get a Australian (.com.au)
and/or US domain (.com) name registered?
I will need a reasonable amount of storage (say 500MB+) for putting up
pictures (both photo's and graphic) and some MP3s (my own compositions)
but not expecting overly large traffic.
Also thinking about having a couple of extra domain names that would
simply be redirects to my "real site" or more specifically to a URL
other than the root level of the site.
So say, hypothetically:
www.marxzmusic.com would redirect to www.marksecker.com/music/downloads
and www.marxzart.com redirect to www.marksecker.com/art
You are talking two completely different things.
#1 Domain name registration, this can be done through a registar like
iinet etc (most ISP's do it) for au and through one of the USA ones like
dyndns (not only do they redirect, they can sell you .com .net. org etc)
#2 Web hosting, here you have tonnes of options:
You could do it yourself with ADSL / Cable (I host the local primary
school, my own website, + 3 other low volume websites, all on a 512K
down 128K up link. (not the fastest, but most people do not know the
difference))
You can pay someone like Highway1 to host your site (check out their co
location and webhosting fees (sometimes it is cheaper to provide your
own box, and co locate)
