Saundra Member Registered: 11/18/05 Posts: 1796 Loc: Daytona Beach, Florida	I've settled on a web site name but they ask so many questions on godaddy.com I'm afraid to start. They offer a ton of free things...do you take them all just because they offer them? They don't have a toll-free number so how do you ask questions? I can't believe I'm so not in this century yet! _________________________ What I know for sure is that it's all connected. Saundra Goodman Got Teeth?

Princess Lenora Member Registered: 11/11/04 Posts: 3503 Loc: Colorado	Saundra, what are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to establish your domain name? I went through what you are going through, trying to do it all myself. It drove me crazy. You have to devote hours to getting this done if you do it yourself. I used iPowerweb. I built my site through their services too. And, there is an 800 number if you are willing to wait forever. _________________________ "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice." http://beyondthetears.blogspot.com http://www.facebook.com/lynn.tolson http://www.facebook.com/pages/Beyond-the-Tears-A-True-Survivors-Story/130880013605676

Saundra Member Registered: 11/18/05 Posts: 1796 Loc: Daytona Beach, Florida	Yes, Lynnie, I want a domain name so someone can build my web site, and I want to be able to put it in my book on the author's page. I was told godaddy is the easiest. A computer person told me that - I'm going to strangle him. He's too busy to help. _________________________ What I know for sure is that it's all connected.

Dotsie Founder Registered: 07/09/08 Posts: 23647 Loc: Maryland	Try register.com. That's another site where you can register domain names. Saundra, are you interested in using a seb designer? I have a great one and she gives 20% off to NABBW members. _________________________ Founder Emeritus of Boomer Women Speak and the National Association of Baby Boomer Women. www.nabbw.com www.boomerwomenspeak.com

Princess Lenora Member Registered: 11/11/04 Posts: 3503 Loc: Colorado	Saundra, if I could have afforded it I would have used Dotsie's recommendation when I was setting up my site. I also got lots of suggestions from our boomer sisters. I ended up using ipower.com for building my site myself. godaddy is pretty new to me. I don't know anything about it, not that I would. _________________________ "Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice." http://beyondthetears.blogspot.com http://www.facebook.com/lynn.tolson http://www.facebook.com/pages/Beyond-the-Tears-A-True-Survivors-Story/130880013605676

Dancing Dolphin Member Registered: 03/06/06 Posts: 2529 Loc: Southern California	Saundra, godaddy is one of the cheapest out there for domain names. I use them for many of my clients. They do have a phone number, but it's not toll free. You can order your domain and just say NO to all of their offers. And just because you got your domain name there, doesn't mean you have to host your site there - although they are cheap and reliable with that as well. No matter who you use, print out all receipts and email documentation, and add your username and password. Even though you think you'll remember it, you may not down the road right when you need it most. As always, feel free to contact me for free suggestions and assistance: kathy@crowningtouchgraphics.com Kathy www.CrowningTouchGraphics.com

Jane_Carroll member Registered: 07/06/06 Posts: 1521 Loc: Alabama	Saundra, I use GoDaddy for my domain name and for my server. I've never had any problems with them. I have called a few times, (480) 505-8877 and always get great response. _________________________ Jane Carroll

Saundra Member Registered: 11/18/05 Posts: 1796 Loc: Daytona Beach, Florida	Oh. Okay, even I laughed at that one. I might be taking this too seriously so needed the laugh. _________________________ What I know for sure is that it's all connected. Saundra Goodman Got Teeth?
