getting a reptile website
I was wondering how you guys that have websites to sell reptiles go about setting up a website. Is there a host that everyone in the business uses? What are the costs associated with a website?
Sorry for the vague questions. I am just trying to figure out how to set one up. I have designed a few webpages here and there but never had to get a site for one, so I really dont know what I am doing. Thanks for the help.

I'm an aspiring web designer. You just have to pick a host that offers what you need at a good price. There are sites that rate hosts. Buy a domain.. park it.. build it. You have to pay to keep the domain name, pay to have your site submitted (and resubmitted) to search engines and pay for monthly hosting charges.

i read a faunahost or something like that. I was just wondering if anyone had some recommendations. Should I just shop around?
Re: getting a reptile website
I highly recommend dream host www.dreamhost.com lots of band width lots of space very good speed and I have had 0 issues with them for 2 years for a very small price

1and1.com has GREAT service. i've got 3 web site's with them right now. The 2 main packages i use are "home" and "business" package. In the Home package, it's like 4.99/month with 1000mb of storage. I pay an extra $5 and i get a MySQL database (which allows forums such as this one). It's worth 10 bucks a month and 2000mb storage. Check them out: http://www.1and1.com

You really need to figure out what features you need, then shop for hosts that provide them, within your price range, and with a reputation for good customer service. So far we're happy here with www.hytekhosting.com , but I have had bad experiences with www.hostrocket.com and www.hostreflex.com so I can't recommend them.
Re: getting a reptile website
thanks all. I just got a the new version of dreamweaver so i figured i would try it out and create myself a website. I will have to get to work on the pages first, see what i end up with, then find a host. Thanks again
