gilanaI'm working on building up a freelance design business, and I'm starting to think it would be a Good Thing to have my own domain for it. The nice thing about having an unusual name (or at least an unusually spelled one) is the most of the variations I might want are available; I'm thinking I'll probably go with rosenthol-design.com. (Although if you have strong opinions against the hyphen or have another brilliant idea, now's the time to let me know.)
What I want:
my own domain name
an email address at that domain
a place to put up a small web site on that domain
Of course, I'm not making a ton of money at this yet, so I really want to keep it cheap. Any opinions on the cheapest place to register a domain and/or get web hosting? Or warnings against places I should stay away from? Thanks!
Also, if you know anyone who needs print design done -- wedding invites or programs, birth announcements, business cards, logos, you name it -- point them my way! My portfolio is currently at rosenthol.carbonmade.com. Thanks!
