My website is up for renewal.

This is what it is going to cost me for 2 years at Go-Daddy.com:

$120.76 Hosting - Shared - Economy - Linux - Renewal - 2 years
$23.24 Domain F-BODYSPORT.COM

$143 total
$114.47 with 20% off

Are there better deals out there? I'm not even close to being savy at making a website so it has to be user friendly. I can't complain about Go-daddy's service, if I couldn't figure something out I called, talked to an actual human that seemed to be American and I got what I needed taken care of.

When I first signed up ~4 years ago I remember the prices being half that. Now that I took the time to make the site etc I have a feeling the are bending me over. Are there other options out there for a dummy like me?

That's roughly half what I pay at Dreamhost. http://www.dreamhost.com/ But that includes stuff you probably don't need, like unlimited bandwidth, unlimited storage, unlimited email accounts, unlimited subdomains, etc. It is a lot more complicated than something like Godaddy, but still pretty easy.

If you can live without your own domain name, there's gotta be free sites that would offer a similar amount of storage and bandwidth to Godaddy. I don't know any offhand. (Gee, that was helpful of me!)

You might be able to get a free site, then register your domain, and have it forwarded to your free site. Just a thought. It'd probably be slow and loaded with ads, and I have no idea how to do it, but still.
