How much does each cost?

And the domain name would be a .com, and I'm really not savvy with servers, so I can't really ask about those other than how much would a good one cost >_>

give up. don't even try it.



sorry, but that's the response i got when i asked this simple question. sheeesh, no one here gives enough of their time to supply some useful information. >_>
I really hate how I've made more than 12,000 posts here. Thankfully this swaying, moving Chandelure makes it all worth it.

Oh, it's not for me.

It's just that Microsoft fails at giving you servers. One of my friends wants to put a downloadable game onto his site, yet he says he can't, because you can only upload things smaller than 10MB at a time, and any upload lasting longer than 15 minutes will be timed out.

It varies, but I've seen domain names go for around $7/year and webhosting for about $5/month

How much activity does your friend expect his site to have?  Make sure he doesn't buy hosting from a company that oversells.

DOES ONE NEED BOTH :3

yeah, i knew i could get a good domain for $7/year. but webhosting is a little too expensive for me. so, i guess just a domain on a free hosting site would be best for now...until you get a job. :B

yeah, you usually do need both.  And if you're going to go as far as to buy a domain, I strongly suggest scraping up the money to get webhosting as well...there are cheaper options, but I can't guarantee you'll get amazing customer service or bandwidth.
