| School me on domain name/email hosting
can someone take me to school on how to do this stuff:
setup a domain (.ca) - I looked on godaddy.ca and looks like I can get it for 9.99 per year. is that my only cost? I read about that @N guy who had a bad experience with godaddy, so any other suggestions?
setup 3 email address with mailboxes. Is there a cost for this?
Any free CRM systems out there? I know a while back sugar CRM used to be free but now it seems to charge. I need 1 or 2 users. Has to be free.
edit: this is what i've found so far
email - http://www.zoho.com/mail/zohomail-pricing2.html
crm - https://www.zoho.com/crm/comparison.html
any feedback on Zoho?

Do not post a domain name you want on the internet without securing it first.
I would remove the domain name from your post ASAP.

I always recommend using Namespro.ca they are a local company with great customer support and service.
I've never only done email but I use a combination of my web host Dave's network.ca and gmail. Posted via RS Mobile |

I've setup civicrm before. That's free and sits on top of something like joomla or WordPress. However you're going to need webhosting as well for that to work.

I use DreamHost, love their service and support. Typically the $9.99 "per year" is per domain, and then you'll pay $100 or so for the hosting account itself... so one domain would be $110, two would be $120, five would be $150, etc. Sometimes you'll get the first year free as a new customer. Depends on the particular host.
I also have Gmail set for our company email - works seamlessly for "@companyname.com" addresses, plus I can do email via any browser or mobile device. Very handy.
If you want to try DreamHost I can give you a discount code (gives me a little kickback too).

no complains for 15.99 yearly cost.
all i really needed was a @companyname.com email capabilities.

Is it $16 just for domain name or including all the monthly fees ?
I paid 11 for domain and all the monthly other stuff added on ended up being $33 at blue host |

I signed up for web hosting today with SiteGround and got a free .org domain out of it which I will use as a parked domain for our main site .ca
All is well and I'm happy with the price... except I didn't realize that there is a 500MB mailbox quota per email. Oops.
Do most web hosting services also have such restrictions? Or did I dun goof'd?

Many many other options than GoDaddy. Everytime I hear that name it makes me want to plug my ears with screwdrivers.

Any deals out there?
I'm currently with JustHost and my site is about to expire.
If I use another web host, can I register the same domain or I'm fucked if JustHost keeps my domain?
