Let me put you all in the picture. These are the prices I paid for my addresses and my hosting packages, and what I get for my money. I have checked with my hosting service and these prices are still obtainable now.
It doesn’t matter if you write your own pages in html, or with the help of something like FrontPage or Dreamweaver, or whether you pay someone else to write them for you. Creating and uploading the pages, and updates to them, can be separated from buying the web address and paying to have the pages available over the internet.
I am not saying these are the lowest prices available. I am saying you shouldn’t need to pay any more than this - plus my supplier’s service has been absolutely excellent in all the years I’ve been using them.
I am not a ‘reseller’ of this stuff and have no wish to be. Like you, I am just Joe public, buying for my own needs alone. I get no special deals and, as I am not going to tell you the name of my hosting service unless you specifically ask me, I hope you will believe me when I say I receive no incentive to recommend them.
