hehe. work with web design much? i'm all rusty since i haven't had a site to maintain for a few good months now.

and no, i haven't. i'm thinking about it, but it's so damn hard to come up with a name. 6 bucks a year don't sound bad at all, though.

Yeah doing Web Design is my job! Well I do more database stuff. But I know how to do HTML and some other stuff.

I know what you mean it is tough to come up with a good name that isn't taken all ready. What about CrazyAsian.com is that taken?

that could be a possibility!

i'll have to check it out.

and that's uber cool.

i'll check out your site when it's up...i'm sure i could probably learn something. looking forward to seeing it.

crazyasian.com is taken, but there are oodles of other extensions.

hm...time to seriously contemplate.

what do put as the host when i transfer via FTP?

On the main page underneath the type of package you have it has your full domain. Put that in as the host. For instance mine is:
s93106072.onlinehome.us

i did, but it doesnt seem to be working. i've connected via ftp several times, and this has never happened.

What type of error are you getting? Did you set the password and use the username from the FTP page in the admin section?

Haven't had to much time to get mine up. Still working on it. What domain did you end up getting for yours Isaac?

isaac · Post by **isaac** » Sun Jan 11, 2004 3:34 pm

i haven't gotten a domain. figured it'd be pointless until i got some more content...just wound up using a redirect for the site instead.
