Whats the cheapest/best place for hosting AND domains?

Have you looked at godaddy.com ?

Yeh I love godaddy and use to use them a while ago untill I wound up sharing hosting with my brother at hostmonster. Then I just realized a lot of people don't use hostmonster nor are they really that well priced. Plus I just got into CPA a couple months back and have several landing pages I need to get up and several more in the works.

I'm back to looking at godaddy but they charge $9.99 a domain. I'm going to be getting a lot of domains over the next 6 months and figured maybe namecheap.com would be better. They charge $2.99 a domain than $2.95 for the monthly hosting.

Compared to godaddy thats just farrrr far cheaper. So is anyone using namecheap.com? Any problems with them?

Ok this is bs so I go to commit to namecheap.com and now they're saying their domains are $9.99. This is total utter bs if they are advertising $2.99 right on their site then when you go to buy it the price changes to $9.99!

Anyone using namecheap? They look like rip off artists.

Yeh I'm already seeing that lol. I almost feel bad for this place as I'm trying to register a new account and the site seems so lagged with traffic it keeps timing out the connection. No idea whats causing it but I've tried registering 3 times for a new account and their processors are just not working right.

Think I will take that as a sign to avoid big names like my brother told me to do. He said the more popular places will often be less but the second something goes wrong you're basically on your own as far as support goes. He told me to use hostmonster because they're support is great and although they're a bit more expensive that its definitely worth it.

Not a big deal I got the money so might as well stop being so frugal over this I'm sure it'll come back to bite me in the ass.

Namecheap.com you just lost yourself a customer if your site sucks this bad just to register an account I can't imagine how the service is.

I wouldn't be looking for the cheapest in hosting because you get what you pay for. It would suck if your hosting went out because their servers are not up to par. I've been with Hostgator for over a year and I must say, i've never had any problems that they couldn't fix quick.

As for domains, I buy all my domains through 1and1.com.. Right now, their .com are 4.99 and .info are .99 (for the first year and then they are like 9.99 after that). Back in October, they were selling .com names for only 1 buck.. I went crazy buying domains.. LOL..

Hope this helps

When you are looking for hosting you don't need the cheapest one. You are looking for reliable, responsive and friendly company for reasonable price.
You don't host sites because this is cheap, you host them to be available all the time!

Cheap domains is another story. Use coupons to get discount

www.ixwebhosting.com has cheap hosting plans (look for the secret link at the bottom of the page for a 20% discount), but it's not great...

IMO, one of the best hosting companies among the cheap ones is Bluehost, so you may want to take a look on their plans, too.

Regarding domains, I'm a big fan of NameCheap, but I think GoDaddy is cheaper than them.

This is only my suggestion, I use hostthename from this forum., and for price they are very good, and for help and assistance they are untouchable,brilliant...

I use godaddy and I would have to say my satistfaction with them would be a 9/10 !

Thanks guys I wound up going with hostgator. I wound up noticing most of these places try to make you commit for a year or 2 and the only place offering monthly contracts (that I found) was hostgator.

It was $15 to register the domain which is $5 more than other places and hosting was $10 for a month (which is also expensive) but this way I can test the service and if its not good enough I'll try another place after a month.

So far everything is going great so I will likely wind up commiting for a longer service.
Thanks again!

I'm not a godaddy fan myself, also do you really need hosting and domains from the same place?

For shared hosting - hostgator is ok.. for the price it seems reasonable compared to the rest.. as for domain registrations I just look for the cheapest place

Not sure if someone already said it, but hostgator is pretty good you can host an unlimited number of domains for under $11 per month....as far as domain names I prefer godaddy because its an easy transition to move domains around plus good customer service anytime and you cant beat that!!

Godaddy = sucks. Worst customer service on the planet. If you dont think customer service is the number one important thing, you must be a newbie.

IMO anyone choosing Godaddy must be a newbie

Buying Domains= NAMECHEAP...........ask around they are the most popular among webmasters, They do not screw with their customers or try to steal their domains, like Godaddy does

Hosting? HOstgator. or Cyberwurx(I prefer cyberwurx) their customer service is second to none. I pay 6 bucks a month for a shared plan though this is not fast enough for CPA.

Not a Godaddy fan at all. I use namecheap for my domain registrar and hostgator for my shared web hosting, serverpoint & linode for vps hosting.

I use namecheap for domain and hostgator for hosting, so far there were no problem at all.

Their customer service is the best and respond quickly.

Hosting is always a thing to think about and do a bunch of researches to find the right for you, I host my domains with godaddy but the only thing why i host with them is when i use those coupons that drop my price to 2 bucs for the first year. One of my good friends just hooked me with his hosting, and its pretty damn good.

It's called Dreamhost and the website is dreamhost(dot)com

As a domain registrar I use Namecheap. It's great, last time I checked it was cheaper than Godaddy (which was about a year ago, though

For hosting I simply use Hostgator. The business plan is only $15/month for unlimited domains and bandwidth with a discount for the month you pay and if you pay in advance then the discount applies to the entire time period you've paid for!

When registering domains, its important to note that the official .com price for a domain is:

US$7.34 to Verisign +
US$0.18 to ICANN =

$7.52 total per domain.

The companies that are selling domains for less than that are making money somewhere else off of you. Often times, those "Free" Domains are not in your name, and never will be, so if you develop on them for 10 years, using their hosting and services and paying them, then if you want to transfer you have to pay them to buy the domain. What happens if you get a free domain and build it into the next Facebook, and then you try and buy your $million domain and transfer it? Do you really think they are gonna let it go for a small transfer fee at that point?

If you are just looking for a cheap domain to throw up a landing page and point to your sales page, then Free domains and cheap hosting are a great way to go (you can get a different IP for your new domain, ranking you higher etc). UglyHost is my personal example of that, where I have purchased several hundred keyword oriented domains and offer 5 of them to use for free with any hosting account. You don't get to keep the domains, but you get the benefit of selling off them or developing on them as long as you'd like.

However, if its a domain you plan on developing and want to keep, make sure you buy it through an accredited registrar that doesn't try and rape you 5 years latter. 7 Years ago I registered nochek.com and used it for a bit before I realized I wanted to switch hosting to another service. It was then held for ransom when I tried to transfer it, and is now available for $900 on moniker.com because I wouldn't pay the $2500 for it when I wanted it 7 years ago. Since then I have had to turn my nickname into a company, and am in the process of Trademarking it, all so I can get my domain back that was stolen from me, because I fell for a $4 registration fee.

Remember, Just Because Something Doesn't Cost Anything Doesn't Mean It's Free.

Hi, I would definately grab all of your domains from godaddy - but steer clear of their hosting package.. not great

I made a video about hostgator - Ive used them for years
Video

if you can wait, godaddy occasionally has pretty sweet deals on their domains.

I like HostGator myself as well. They may be a dollar or two higher than others, but myself I have had no problems and anytime I had a question, they answered it quickly and helped me through the question. You do have to do your own research and go with what you are comfortable with. I wish you the best.

For hosting, hostgator has been great for me. I've been with them for almost 2 years now and since have only experienced 1 problem when upgrading my plan... their support was speedy and had my issue taken care of within a day.

I use Godaddy for domains and Host Gator for hosting. Why? Cause that's where I started and I've had no problems. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Hi,
In this moment I use Hostgator, excellent customer service and name cheap.

Domain:
NameCheap
They're the best in my opinion, PERIOD. You can get a .info domain for $2.99 including the Whois Guard, all your information secured from public.

Hosting:
HostGator
The best webhosting company, PERIOD. Awesome costumer support. You can get the "Baby Plan" Hosting for only 1 CENT the first month, then you pay around $7-$9. You can host all your websites there. Costs for setting the website up: $3. Good luck!

That 2.99 is not bad for .info on namecheap I might try that, I am sure its only for the first year but, it can add up, you surely can scale up to making money in 12 months, and renew

REMEMBER WITH NAMECHEAP
to search on google for namecheap coupons
I save about 90c per domain using those, I know its not a lot but I feel better when it shows me the new discount price after entering the coupon code

If u are looking long term IM career go for good host not the cheapest go for the reliable and affordable .

Namecheap for domains for hosting bluehost/hostgator.. u wont regret

Lemme write detailed description here which will help others.

Why i go for namecheap than hostgator
1.Namecheap gives whois guard for free in first year.I'm tired of upselling of godday.

Why i go for bluehost or hostgator.And Why now i host my sites in hostgator

1.If you buy hostgator u can upgrate it to a shared to VPS in future.But Bluehost having shared only.So if you are looking to expand in future go for hostgator

2.Why i dont go for cheap hosting.

Most of them are re sellers of above 2 companies.Since i wanted a different ip i bought
a small plan from a local provider here for 8$ year ..yes thats cheap.But problem is your site looses privacy.Later i found out this bugger has stolen some of my niches as well as plugins etc.Its funny but its the reality.

Above all are my real life experiences.

go check this thebesthostingweb.com

Dont forget cybwerwurx for hosting, very reasonable pricing and their customer service is open 24/7 never takes me longer than 5 minutes to get them even at 3 in the morning

if you are going to have a ton of domains then i would definitely register them with GoDaddy. they are the cheapest. .com is only $7.49 for unlimited registrations every single day. you can use coupon code zine10. if for some reason that coupon eventually stops working there are always new ones that make it that same price. they also frequently have coupon codes for $1 and also have $5.99 and less coupon codes right now that are good for one domain registration.

Namecheap and Hostgator shared hosting is the cheapest quality solution. You can also try Yahoo domain which will cost you only $1.99 per domain for the first year.

Have been with godaddy for a while, but got several problems with them.
So i moved to namecheap.com, not the cheapest but i've never had problems.
For hosting i've been successfully using webhostgiant for over 2 years!

Although I canceled a domain they rebilled me the next year.
The same happened to an email package i once ordered.
They refunded the money pretty fast, but it still took a couple of emails.

All the upsell stuff they present you wherever you click also annoyed the hell out of me!
But that might have changed...
