on 9/15/2009 I have used Efficientsites.net for years to purchase my domain names and hosting service. They make domain registration easy and also offer the best hosting package deals with lots of extras.

on 5/5/2009 My friend just got a new site for his small and growing business. It seemed easier than I thought it would be, but he went through JanDillaWeb. He said they were a lot less expensive than other web site developers and they got the domain name he wanted, as well as other cool features like shopping cart and customer database to sell his stuff. I think I'm going to try it too. Anyone who is interested check out jandillaweb.com
