looking for shared web hosting

[Aaron Vegh]

Definitely get your domain from another provider; the warnings here are real.

I use www.domainsatcost.ca as my registrar. They have pretty decent
domain management features, and they cost five cents more than
budgetnames.ca for dot-ca names.

Cheers,
Aaron.
