Hello all!
So someone one a chat network asked me a question about computers this evening, and I was looking through google to assist him/her, and ended up finding this forum; great news for me!
So about 2-3 years ago, I got an idea that I could run/manage/build a website for this chat network that I use. If you're not familiar with mIRC, you probably won't have a clue what I am talking about.
Needless-to-say, I started this website, I bought it through godaddy, thanks to a friend. However, I only bought the basic website & the hosting advertises unless you purchase an upgrade; something I'm not sure I want to do at this point. I know that I'll need hosting in order for my site to grow, however, is there any hosting companies to be recommended? I read through some of the other posts to get some ideas, but still looking.
I basically need an affordable hosting plan, something that will allow me to 'create' this site with ease, as well as maintain it very easily. The other thing is design.
I am wondering what you all would recommend when it comes to the design of a website. Is there a place to consider when trying to create a logo? I currently have my webpage forwarded from the .com to the wordpress site that I created. I know that they're probably generating money from me using their company with the hits I'm getting. I haven't advertised my site besides in the channel(s) I maintain across various networks, and I have so far noticed a decent amount of views.
I would really consider using a wordpress type of theme, however, I would like to also have forums on my site, and allow people to create a small profile. I would appreciate any help/guidance that you all would be able to give me.
If you'd like to see my page at this moment and get a little more feel for what I'm trying to do, please check it out at http://IRCNewbies.com - thanks again everyone!

. However; there are plenty that I would NOT recommend.
