Anyone recommend some place for hosting/domain name registration.
My friend was considering godaddy.com but was wondering if there are better places. He is going to have a small web page.
Thanks

You can't beat the price, and -- as I discovered today -- they respond really fast to e-mailed questions. Like within an hour. And the people doing the responding seem to have a clue -- the answers actually made sense!
If you have broadband with ~300kbit/sec or better upload, can get a static IP from your ISP, and are the somewhat adventurous type, self-hosting the site may be an option. Set up a cheap Linux box... load Apache, PHP and MySQL on it (these should already be bundled with your distro)... you have complete control.
