Creating Blog: Help!!!

P11 · 08-05-2006, 12:50 AM

Hey, I'm creating a blog and I was a little confused on some parts of this process. First off I registered the domain on www.godaddy.com, then I also choose Quick Blog. Now, when I try to add hosting it says that Quick Blog is using my domain...so does that mean Quick Blog is providing my hosting service?

Thanks

Best to email or ring godaddy and find out, it may be that using the quick blog service with your domain prevents you from using web hosting as well. I dont know anything about the quickblog service, godaddy are alright for domains but I dont like their web hosting service at all, they charge you extra for every little thing.

I wouldn't go near GoDaddy with a 200 foot Internet pole.

I know many webmasters who experienced much trouble with them. I'd recommend Namecheap. They're only domain names (no hosting and such), but I wouldn't trust GoDaddy hosting anyway.

Namecheap + ASO hosting = Happy Chroder

I was originally planning to go with 1and1.com but I heard that they are worse than godaddy.com....alot of people suggested godaddy so I went with it. Ill wait till tomorrow morning and see if it works, if not I'll have to wait till i come back from a 2 day trip up north.

Alright, thanks a lot

EDIT: I contacted godaddy.com and apparently I have to change my DNS control @ set point to Quick Blogs IP address. Hopefully it will work in an hour or so.
