Website Resources

Diskografija.com is a self-financed project, which includes web hosting on a windows server 2003, a top level domain name, development tools (Visual Studio .NET), and most of all, time.

Cheap Hosting

At first we tried to use free or cheap web hosting, and not to use a domain name. For that reason we used a free unix hosting (fateback.com, thanks to them!) with a free subdomain. They offered an unlimited bandwidth and a large disk space of 60MB, which was enough for starting.

Domain Options

Soon the website gained some popularity, and needed new features: a fast hosting, a top level domain registration, interactive forms instead of static HTML pages. For the future, we needed that other features were available as an option: hosting of a database, maybe SqlServer, numerous subdomains, bandwidth extensions, ASP.NET dynamic pages (we didn't need PHP or Frontpage).

Hosting Company

Hosting ranking sites did not help us very much to choose a hosting company, as they all live on advertizing of the same. At least we chose 1PlanHost that have a clear and affordable offer, and NameCheap for the domain name.
