Re: (TV) Domain and webhosting question

[Maurice Rickard <maurice@me.com>]

Greg, your songs are *awesome*, not crappy. Please keep that straight.

Hosting: GoDaddy's reasonable, though make sure you're getting a Linux account, not Windows/IIS.  Hostmonster I've dealt with a bit; they're fine too. I've used Powweb, who are also all right. In any of those cases, an annual account is cheaper than month to month.

In any case you'll want a content management system. Wordpress is fine; most of those hosts offer one-click installation. You can download a design (in WP, it's a "theme") and most are free.

For putting music online, I like bandcamp.com, which has a player you can paste into your pages--and you can manage (and sell) the music painlessly.
