NYCPHP Meetup

[Edward Potter]

Make life VERY simple. It's not perfect, but it works:

PICK the worlds biggest registrar of names, godaddy. use them.  They will
answer your calls on the spot 24 hours a day. Right from Phoenix, AZ. I have
had zero problems with their tech support. They have been great to me. They
have millions of sites registered with them.

PICK the worlds biggest data center for hosting, hostgator. They will answer
your online help in 30 seconds. I suspect outsourced tech help to  China,
but they know their stuff. Rock solid. These guys host hundreds of thousands
of web sites. They know what they are doing.

No worries, no problems. Life is short. Don't waste a minute with this sh*t.
Just move on to coding, You should have ZERO problems with hosting (or
almost) at this point.  It's not 1995.

Both of these guys are not perfect, but they are number 1.

Dreamhost is ok, but I like LIVE support. Which hostgator has.
