GoDaddy is good. Quite reliable

I'm sure this has been covered before.
If you want hosting bundled too I recommend Bluehost

Or Datacapital.com.au of course.

Hi Teedo, you can set up "cloaking" so people cant see the actual address of your website, they'll just see the www.teedo.net. It will be in your domain name management if you went GoDaddy (or most other domain name providers), where you set up the URL redirect.

I have a Go Daddy account, they're ok; but now use Namecheap.com for my generic domains, and DomainCentral for .au domains

and for hosting I have a reseller account with GD Web Hosting (they also do domains), and use their aussie based servers located in the TransACT datacentre Canberra.

bluehost and hostmonster are run by same company and servers i believe, i used hostmonster.com and will do so again very soon.

How do i go about masking the links on my site too?
www.teedo.net

If you highlight the links you can still see the address bar at the bottom, can i change that?

[goof]

In your links you have a relative address, ie <a href="about.html">. Change them to absolute addresses, ie <a href="www.teedo.net/about.html">

Or put a base tag at the top of each page which will have the same effect on all links in the page all in one hit. See HTML BASE - HTML Code Tutorial



Edit: I'd avoid putting my email address on a page too, especially in a mailto link, it is spam bait. Better to have a form people fill in and some script that emails it to you. There's plenty of free ones around, one with a captcha is a good idea. (I use SCForm.)
