I'm afraid of godaddy.com

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.comKathy www.CrowningTouchGraphics.com

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.

Oh. Okay, even I laughed at that one. I might be taking this too seriously so needed the laugh.

Spoke with Kathy and two web designers and received an education I couldn't have paid for. Still don't know everything, but think I found the one. He's local so I can put my hands around his throat if I have too. Thank you everone. I couldn't have done it without you!

I hope that all of you have noticed that our very own KATHY WALSH (Rick and June) is ALWAYS offering her own knowledge, free of charge, and services, to everyone and anyone who needs it. Is this the kind of friend you want? I know I do. What an unselfish person. Kathy obviously, does not operate with a competitive mind or one that would step all over the competition to rise above, but with a solid heart. I predict she will always do good in her business because good things will return to her, threefold. I'm so proud to be able to call her friend! I hope you all support HER in her business when you can. I know I intend to! YOU ROCK KATHY!

Kathy is not only generous, but clever as well. I can't wait to use her services. I am figuring out what I need right now. I really trust her, and I trust her judgement. Boomer Sisters rock and roll!

Oh BELIEVE ME there is no need to be afraid of Godaddy.com
I have two names with them and have a free website at tripod dot com as I am basically computer illiterate!
If I can do it, you can do it.
I have used them for over 5 years and have never had a problem with them.
I use tripod for my website as that is also very simple to use as I don't know html.
Good Luck!
Nancy

I support Kathy. I just bought a nightgown from her for my hot flashing sister for Christmas.
That picture of Luke is amazing. Kathy, your son is brillian to figure that out. And so are you by putting another background. Do you make a family calendar? You should. I bet it would be awesome.
Thanks, Dotsie, for everything! No calendar yet - in fact I can't even get a frame filled with family photos that I bought a year ago. I just need to set aside one day a week to do all those things I keep putting off!!

Anne, that's what I do. I still don't know much but now I feel I can take steps to move forward and I learn a little bit more each time I talk to someone. The trick for me is learning what the questions are to get the answers I need.

Saundra, I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do with your site, but I did a teleconference that you m gith be interested in listening to. It's on the Member Benefits page at www.nabbw.com. I know you're a member so you can listen to it for FREE. It may answer some of your questions and give you some ideas for when you launch your site.

Dotsie, I have no sound on my computer and it's too heavy for me to carry up/down the stairs to get a new sound card. I'm missing everything...I have to fix this!

I got my domain name yesterday and it was easy. When I got home from work today there was a phone message from godaddy and the name of the person who will help me with any problems or questions. If I'd known they do that I would have done it the day before my day off so it wouldn't cost me money to call them. I know I can email but talking is so much better.

Thanks for being my cheerleader, Kathy. I don't like the web site styles so have to find out if I can get a plain white background. The immediate thing was to secure the domain name so I can put it in the book on the author page. This is exciting and a little scary. Don't want to make a mistake.
