What is the best place to buy domains and host sites

14 years ago

Although you haven't had any problems with GoDaddy yet I'd still suggest using NameCheap. As far as hosts go HostGator sets a pretty good standard although I personally use LaceHost.com for my non-CPU intensive sites, only $2 a month.

Thanks

I recommend using a host who offers the cPanel control panel. Not only is it easy to use, but it's also the most common control panel which means you can easily move your sites between web hosts if you need to.

Also note that it's a good idea to register your domains separately from your host so you are sure to retain full control over them, especially when you leave the host.

So for domains I recommend Namecheap
For hosting go with HostGator or a similar cPanel host. Some more listed here.

I use bluehost ...they have amazing 24 hour tech support...I've never had a problem that they couldn't help me solve. They will stay on the phone with me until I figure it out...for someone who isn't hugely technically inclined it makes a big difference.

Thanks

I would say Godaddy or Namecheap for domains, godaddy is cheaper but namecheap is easier to use.
For hosting, you have 1000s of choices, hostgator is very reliable.
Try to use web hosts with cPanel, because Plesk is very good but complicated.

Have you look at Justhost.com, they are pretty cheap and you get unlimited bandwidth and if you use this coupon code, you can get it 50% off. Which is like $2.95 per month. the coupon code is: 50OFF

I use hostgator for hosting and namecheap for domains. Hostgator live support is pretty good and they are helpful all the time. Also, you get unlimited domains, add-on domains and bandwidth for just $9 which is really really good.

I buy my domain through GoDaddy and get them for around $6-$7 and I host my sites with Bluehost for $3.95 a month. That is a great duo that seems to work for me.

I use 3 hosting companies:
HostGator
BluseHost
LunarPages

I recommend HostGator and BlueHost unreservedly. Both have provided me with amazing service.

LunarPages is a different matter, they are frequently down and their customer service is slow and unresponsive. I only have one site hosted with them but it's a complex membership site and it would be a big hassle to try moving it.

For purchasing domain names I use 1&1 Internet for names I plan to keep and Dynadot for names that I plan to sell. Both are excellent

Thanks

for domains I always go with namecheap. And I have had hosting with hostgator for a year now and have never had a problem. Their support is real good too. If you have a problem you can just open up a chat window with them and go from there.

I know its not the cheapest solution, but my favorite registrar is Dynadot. They have a unique system by which you can delete a domain you registered within 5 days and get a refund.

I register all my domains at Godaddy. Before I got a discount membership, I would just google for a discount code for registrations and renewals. There is always one out there.

There is hardly any difference between hostmonster and bluehost AFAIK. Other than Hostmonster disallowing catchall email domain forwarding, but it is slightly cheaper than Bluehost.

However the $3.95 coupon from Bluehost in one of the sigs above seems intriguing.. if it's for an entire year and not just a 1-2 month promotion.... that would be a very good choice for you.

I'd recommend NameCheap for domains - more IM friendly than GoDaddy.

HostGator is ok.. I use it, but if you have a site to Launch and want a Hosting company to understand your needs, then GVO is the way.

Reason: SPAM complaints
When you being to drive traffic to your site via JVs that send email to massive list and even your own list, you may get an occasional spam complaint from a subscriber that may have forgotten that they signed up to you.

Go Daddy takes your site down almost with no notice and so would Host Gator "Depending on the Issue."

NameCheap will first give you a notice that requires a response within 24 hours so that the complaint is handled, before taking down your site.

The same goes for GVO.. not promoting but just laying out the facts.

It's a pain to talk to GoDaddy if your site is down even if you the spam complaint has been addressed. It's also a hassle to transfer registrars from GoDaddy - No offense to GDad.

Host Gator has great support, but the way they setup their servers can be a little funky when you're trying to run tracking scripts and such.

I use Host Gator for anything non technical and Hawk Host for anything I want to run scripts on.

Namecheap is definitely solid as far as registrars go, but I haven't sampled others enough to compare.
