I used Sandvox design software with a MacBook Pro that's a couple of years old. $79 for the software which I have used to build 5 websites, and will use for a long time to come
I used A2Hosting because Sandvox recommended them. One time charge of $240 for 3 years to host unlimited websites with almost unlimited bandwidth and email addresses
I registered my domain name with goDaddy because I couldn't get my password to work at A2Hosting (my fault not theirs). $7.49/year
It took me probably all together, on and off, 8 hours to make this site.
I would have charged someone $200.00 to make it for them
Hosting opinions?
goDaddy is cheaper, tech support is weaker but more available (7 days if you are willing to wait for 15 minutes on the weekend).
A2Hosting has stellar tech support, little to no wait on the phone lines, but no tech support on the weekends
