- Namecheap A great place to buy domain names. You can almost always find a coupon code for them and they also offer special deals throughout the year. If you’re a domain purchasing junkie like me, head over to them.
- DreamHost Hosting company that has been consistently good to me. I’ve only had an issue with them being down once, which is great compared to some of the other companies.
- My website is run on WordPress using the Genesis Framework by Studiopress. I currently have a very customized version of the Darling theme.
