Hello.
I'd like to do the following:
1. register a domain name
2. buy hosting
3. build a squeeze page (lead capture landing page)

Is there a good company that will let me do all 3 at the same site?
Thank you.

    Yes you can use leadpages to build a landing page and have it hosted there. I wouldn't recommend that though as it's always better to have your own domain and hosting.

    For domain registration i would recommend namecheap, for hosting there are so many good companies out there, so i suggest you read some recent reviews and pick a company that you like.

    I would suggest LeadPages as well. It is $37/month but it is well worth the price.

      Why do this when you can do the same thing for $3.00 per month

    LeadPages can make you a lead page without hosting.

    It gives you a link of: username.leadpages.net/blablabla

    You can always get a domain name and cloak the link.

    Purchase your domain name at Name.com the best registrar and fastest in my experience.

    Purchase shared hosting at any of the popular hosting sites

    Never ever host at your registrar.

    Build your own squeeze page, it's easy free per month instead of $37 and there are endless guides on how to do it.

      Domains and hosting will cost money also.

      SO I need domain for each landing page?

    I wouldn't advise having your domain and hosting with the same company. I would recommend Namecheap for your domain. For hosting, there will be a million and one answers as to who's 'best', so you're best taking some time to shop around. Whichever host you choose, you will be able to install your squeeze page on there.

    Although I hear that Leadpages is supposed to be good (I don't use it myself), there are many other options available to you to create a squeeze page for free or for a lot cheaper, such as squeeze page generator software, Wordpress plugins, pre-built pages and so on. You could even create one from scratch if you choose to do so. If you're just getting going it might be an idea to go down that route to begin with rather than investing in a subscription model such as Leadpages. Once you find your feet you can always subscribe to a service like that later, if that's what you feel would benefit you.

    No. You can choose to have one for each landing page if you want and, in some cases, it might be advisable, such as if you want the each domain to be a match for each offer. But you don't NEED to do it. You can have a different page for each offer on the same domain if you like.

    Yes there are, but you don't want to, keep everything separate and owned by you

    No sense in spending $37/month especially when your starting out. Get a domain and hosting then build your squeeze page.

    You can use namecheap for domains.

    If you are low on money, you can even use Blogger for hosting.

    Get a domain and hosting to have own rights for your page, never depend on third parties, because they can change their terms what they want, just like a rented apartment.

    There's a million free or cheap plugins to make landing pages - in fact there are a ton of ready made squeeze pages everywhere. It is essential in my opinion to at least have a basic knowledge of making your own.

    Wordpress plugins can basically do all the work for you (google free worpdpress squeeze page plugin)

    You can use godaddy (for example) to register and get hosting (in fact almost all main hosting companies will register and provide hosting) And every hosting will have wordpress built in, I haven't seen one that doesn't.

    There is no real reason you need a place to do all three - the first two things you are only going to do once. Landing pages you will make forever. And for that you can use something like landing page monkey - not an affiliate lol - but I use them a lot and they are cheap compared to some alternatives. I paid a onetime small fee.

    Don't spend money on stuff you won't use. If you are making a lot then expand...
