"Domain names & hosting"

I have been thinking about getting a top website address for a while now,
I was wondering what is the best / cheapest domain names for .com or .co.uk, I don't mind spending say £10-20 for it, and I think I’d be able to make the site myself, well I have good knowledge of frontpage, and I know quite a bit of html, i was planning to use my new gismo dreamweaver, but the uploading is confusing on there.

I’ve looked at staghosting.com which seems great, but i haven't a clue

1)how much bandwidth I would need
2)how much each visitor takes in bandwidth roughly
3)and how many visitors I would need to qualify for adsense

No.3 sounds a bit long term but i would still like to know.

i was planning to use the site for my flash movies i have created, a forum and a list of free online games.

now i know that my movies at the moment would take up a extremely small 1500kb considering the length and quality, i plan to make more though, anyways. I know that with staghosting's 2gb monthly bandwidth i could have 2000 (roughly) visitors viewing my movies. that is if i am correct with my calculations.

the problem is, i know good flash movies are extremely popular, and i was planning to submit my movies to several extremely popular sites including my URL somewhere in my movies.

i know if they have already veiwed my movies they might not again but, the only other way is to get one of the sites to host my movies, but they have loads of ads and stuff.

What i mainly want to know is how much is a .com? Will staghosting be enough? How many visitors do i need for google adsense, oh and i remember phi11ip saying something about being strict with the content, well my content is clean as a whistle.

any help is greatly appreciated.

Nope, it's dead.

I'll fix it one day, I just can't be bothered at the moment!

Not sure if you've done anything about it, but just as a heads up, http://www.football-database.co.uk/ still doesn't load up anything.

Ah, that's fine then.

I tried to alais the football domain to my phi11ip.com account as a test, and managed to break it.

I'll sort it out sooner or later.

Thanks for that.

Same here, the football one just hangs in both Firefox and IE.

I can access http://www.phi11ip.com/ but not http://www.football-database.co.uk/

OK, that's me being stupid and not reading it.

That's right, it's mail.staghost.com

So what happens when you try to load the page, do you just get a 'Page Cannot Be Displayed?'

unfortunatly it's - 'mail.staghost.com'

it's only getting to SH for some reason.

i've been having alot of trouble with the internet for the past few days,

but phi11ip.com stopped working for me around well 10 this morning,
all other websites work fine that i vist.

I'm on NTL and it works for me...

Hmmmmmmm.

Interesting, very interesting.

OK, if you're using XP.

Goto Start>Run
Type in cmd.
Type 'tracert phi11ip.com' (without the ')

What's the last result you get, I just need the domain. It should be mail.phi11ip.com

unfortunatly not i'm afraid, i'm with NTL.

phi11ip.com and that footie site where fine before...
