Hi Ed,
May I suggest ICDSoft (https://www.icdsoft.com/en/hosting/usa). I have used them for the last 7 years and have had no issues, outside of my own screwups. The only time they were down was when Superstorm Sandy came through and cut a fiber connection in the Northeast. They were down about 6 hours. Their customer service is awesome. ALL of my issues were resolved in less than 15 minutes.
If you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer them.

I've about decided to go ahead and buy a hosting account,
From what I understand you need a hosting account before you can park a domain there. Being as I've got the 3-4 domain names I need to do something with *before* I move beeweather.com it's kind of a problem...I think.OK, so apparently I'm in the same dull knife drawer as you are (a frequent happening here!). Are you saying ICD requires one to register all domains with them before they'll give you a hosting account? If true, and if I were looking to have them host my stuff, I'd be out the door in a hurry.

^^^Interesting. The last renewal I had with GD was 28 Jan '18, a .com that remains parked with them. 16 bucks.
Rather than requiring you to move all the domains to them before opening a hosting account they instead require a hosting account before parking domains...which makes sense 'cause ya gotta have a place for the domains to "park". The issue I'm running into with Godaddy is that they're getting downright greedy...$20 to renew a domain and park it. ICDSoft is something like $13...a fair difference. Hosting is less expensive, also.
One doesn't have to move your domains over to them to open an account. I had my account with ICDSoft a year before I moved my domains over with them.OK, got it. Thanks to both.
I've got a reseller account setup. I was told to do it that way for the best rates. I'll be making the move in a few days...don't have many more days left at Godaddy with three of the domains...only a week or so. It might be a weekend project for me.
I've been wondering how the move/transfer will work. Like I mentioned elsewhere a while back, if BeeWeather was to crash and I had to start over from scratch I'd be at a loss...but I would know exactly where to start at....HERE!!!!! :) This group is the greatest!!!!!!!!!! =D>
Interesting thing...
I just logged into my Godaddy account and the first thing I see are the items I had put in my cart at $19.99 a piece. I had put them in the cart *before* talking to the GD rep and *before* I unlocked/relocked and got my authorization codes for these four domains. Interestingly now the price is showing $14.99...only a 25% discount. Interesting. Call me conspiracy-minded, but they've gotta be monitoring customer accounts and certain actions, like me getting my authorization code triggered a flag for them to give a better price. Remember, I had hung on the phone for ten minutes with their rep that only came back with a hair over a dollar per domain discount. It makes me wonder.... :-k :x
In reality, many feel you do NOT want everything in one basket if your site is something you rely on. If something goes bad with your hosting, you might find the domain locked out of your control where it can't be retrieved without fees, if at all.That's the primary reason mine are split - WestHost in UT and GD in AZ.
I agree, having all your eggs in one basket can be disastrous but splitting up places I have things would just make it more confusing/complicated for me...I'm all for simplifying if I can...the brain ain't getting any younger!!! :lol:Actually doesn't matter how one does things - Murphy is alive and well :!:
Murphy...well, we all know him so we could possibly all be kin. :lol:
Has anyone ever dealt with Namecheap to get a domain name?
I hear you on ditching Dish...we cut the cable with them on January 12th and haven't missed it a bit. Of course I haven't gotten to the college football season, yet, either. ;) But, we'll make it through that, too!!! =D>
This doesn't surprise me at all with tactics like that. Plus, if they were serious about wanting you to stay, they can do better than a 25% discount. Same tactics that were tried with me from Dish, after I called them to disconnect service with them. Didn't work. Have enjoyed being satellite free.
Has anyone ever dealt with Namecheap to get a domain name?
Yes, I just renewed one of my domain names with them for $11.88. If you want Whoisguard, it's $2.88 extra. The company seems fine. I haven't shopped in a long time to see if there is a cheaper company.

I'm not real thrilled with this cPanel everybody wants to use nowadays.
In narrowing down a hosting company to go with, it's surely, for faster speed, good to pick one whose servers are close to your expected viewers.
