Kossaks, I need help.
I need to buy a domain but I'm not sure who to go with. When you do a google search godaddly.com popps up. But I know the godaddy CEO Bob Parsons is a right wing fanatic Rush Limbaugh wannabe.
Godaddy and many other domain sellers also sell hosting service. Sometimes this is a good deal, but sometimes it's a clear scam, trying to sell you something you didn't want or would be better/cheaper somewhere else, taking advantage of ignorance of people who may not know you have seperate domain and site hosting options.
The other thing is the whole Lieberman website "hack" thing which eventually exposed to us that even hosting companies can be partisan, or at least have a conscience.
This got me thinking. I wish there was a list of all these service providers: Domain name sales, Hosting, Content Management Software and Web Design, that we, Kossaks would be proud of supporting with our business.
I'm personally interested in a site for a local anti war group with probably moderate (at best) bandwidth requirements and a tiny budget. But I would like this to be beneficial for Kossaks in other circumstances, especially those involved with campaigns.
So Please give some suggestions, stories, do's and don'ts.
Thanks!
