I've used GoDaddy quite a bit, and never had any problems. They have an autorenew option if you don't want to have to think about it again.
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This is a little too geeky for me, but... gotta love that "hello world" program.
Anyway, I decided that it would be amusing to inflict my obsession on you, my readers, with a new feature: the friday pathological programming language. You see, there are plenty of crazy people out there; and many of them like to invent programming languages. Some very small number of them try to design good languages and succeed; a much larger number try to design good languages and fail; and then there are the folks who design the languages I'm going to talk about. They're the ones who set out to design bizzare programming languages, and succeed brilliantly. They call them "esoteric" programming languages. I call them evil.
Today, the beautiful grand-daddy of the esoteric language family: the one, the only, the truly and deservedly infamous: Brainfuck!, designed by Urban Müller. (There are a number of different implementations available; just follow the link.)
Only 8 commands - including input and output - all written using symbols. And yet Turing complete; and not just Turing complete, but actually based on a real formal theoretical design. And it's even been implemented in hardware!
Here's a hello-world program

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, Gar, I use GoDaddy and they've been fine for me. And cheap.

Signed up with Godaddy. They surprised by calling at the next morning to try to sign me up for enhancements, and maybe sell me their web hosting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone have any podcast service recs? I'm trying to help a friend get into the blog/podcast arena.

Talking of Recs.
From what I can see Buffistas have made the following hosting recs (for simple web sites):
ehostpro [link]
Apollo Hosting [link]
Dream Host [link]
Any others?

I host thevelvetedge.com with JaguarPC. They're pretty decent.

I just Jumpline and they work pretty well especially with multiple domains on one account.
