looking for webhosting

Can anyone help with a few (probably quite stupid) questions?

I presently have hosting that was set-up by the guy who designed my clothing website. What I’d like to do is register a new domain name but I also want to hold onto the URL here at azahar natural clothing.

Would this count as two domain names? Could I get the clothing website set-up as a sub-domain, or would this be a bad idea?

I’ve been looking at BlueHost, which is recommended by WordPress and which offers the following for $6.95 US a month …

  • 300 Gigabyte Hosting Space
  • web hostingHost UNLIMITED Domains
  • 2,500 POP/Imap Email Accounts
  • 3,000 GIGS of Transfer
  • SSH (Secure Shell), SSL, FTP, Stats
  • CGI, Ruby (RoR), Perl, PHP, MySQL
  • 2000/2002/2003 Front Page Extensions
  • Free Domain Forever
  • Free Site Builder
  • 24/7 Superb/Responsive Sales/Support

My main question is about Domain Manager, Sub-domains, Add-on domains, Parked domains and Redirects. And that question is – what are they and how do they work?

Okay, I know (I think) that the free domain provided by BlueHost will be the Domain Manager. And that is the one I would want to have registered under the new name. Is there any way of doing that as well as transfer over the clothing website without having to pay for two domain names?

And while I’m making up my mind about what to do, how can I ‘save’ my new domain name?

I re-stumbled upon Stumbleupon this morning . . .

I actually signed up there last July but never got around to doing anything with it, mostly because I wasn’t keen on having another toolbar on my page. But today I had another look at it after I found a ‘referrer’ coming from there, and it looks like it could be fun. Like yeah, as if I don’t already spend too much time online. f_whistle.gif

Anyhow, one of the first things I stumbled upon was this great web-radio thing called Musicovery … which now means that I’m going to have to attach some proper speakers to SB. But some of the music there is fab!

So I’m still quite a Stumbleupon novice. Can anyone give me any tips on how best to use it? Or even how you use it and what your experiences there have been like?

My Stumbleupon name is azaharSevilla.
