buydomains.com This is the hosting company that I use for artfreaks.com. They are definitely not cheap but then you do tend to get what you pay for... I have found their hosting services to be extremely reliable and, (I think you will agree?) page download speeds are excellent! I also find their "webby" html editor very convenient and easy to use. And buydomains.com is a great place to look for that premium domain name for your new website! Vic Rolfe, April 29, 2005
