If all that matters is cheap, go to godaddy and deal with their painfully slow user interface.

For cheap hosting go to Web Hosting Offers and check out the reviews.

for your domain .99 for 1st year on 1and1.com

Go is cheap yet effective I agree, ideal one to consider for your hosting and domain needs, it's where i had mine before,.

Namecheap.com is who I've used for domain registration for a while now. I started with them and have found it easier just to keep all of my domains in one place, so I've not searched for low priced domain registrars in quite a while. They aren't the cheapest around, but offer fairly good pricing and reliable customer support. They have domains that start right now at $3.98 US per year for the more obscure extensions ($10.69 / yr for .com domains). They offer web hosting starting at $3.45 per month. I've never used them for hosting so I can't give an opinion. I use Host Gator and they are reasonably priced with some extras that are useful. They also offer domain registration.

Like a lot of warriors I use Diffrent firms for Hosting and Names
I would Recommend Namecheap.com, I have been using them for the last few years now. for hosting I use indigitalspace.com Super service and the prices are also ok.

I saw many sources from some forums and post here for all members. hope that these info will help you:

1. 1and1.com _ Annual Fee: 8.99
2. Netfirms.ca _ Annual Fee: 9.99
3. GoDaddy _ Annual Fee: 11.99
4. Namecheap.com _ Annual Fee: 8.98
5. fxdomains.com _ Annual Fee: 8.99
6. Moniker.com _ Annual Fee: 8.99
7. Hostway.com _ Annual Fee: 7.95 (first year) and $9.95 (renewals)
8. Yahoo Domains _ Annual Fee: 9.95 (first year) and $34.95 (renewals)
9. HostGator.com _ Annual Fee: 15.00

Go Daddy is the big web hosting service. I would suggest GoDaddy you can buy domains for cheap prices.

What about Bluehost? One of my blogs is hosted with them. Although their hosting is not the lowest in price, their lowest is $4.95 per month, but your hosting package includes----unlimited domain hosting, unlimited GB hosting space, unlimited GB file transfer, unlimited E-mail accounts, free domain registration, free site builder w/ templates, plus excellent performance! I never had any problems with them. Excellent hosting!

What do you think?

I love Namecheap. The dashboard is user friendly. I did try some of the providers too. But I became more comfortable with Namecheap. Good luck!

You may need to consider the web hosting providers like just host, blue host etc to host your sites, they offer unlimited website hosting + free domain name

Just host charges 2.95/mo
and blue host $3.95 per month

I also agree that I had a bad experience with 1and1 domain transfers. In addition, they also let a customer in to edit my account. I was working as a web designer at the time and had all my sites there. The client had OCD or something and was always freaking out about minute details. He kept promising to start paying for additional edits and revisions, but never did. These were the old days of the internet and I was self taught. i charged him only $300 for his site and terrorized me for like 6 months. Then when I cut things off, he called 1and1 and said he should have access to his site, so they gave him access to all of my client accounts and gave him all of my passwords and access to all of my ftps etc. and he went into other people's files and caused all sorts of chaos. Their customer service was nice and friendly though, but that was useless considering the things that were going on.

I prefer and use godaddy for domains & Hostgator for hosting as they have a great support 24/7 experienced and friendly.

i think i will use namecheap for domain and hostgator for hosting. what do you think guys? Thanks
