What is the best website to buy domain names? Also, what is the best webhosting site for a busy business?

Hi…I am new to making a website. I run a busy international business, and can’t be bothered with slow traffic. I wanted to get the best webhosting site (unlimited data). What site do you recommend?

Also, if I were to buy domain from say godaddy.com, do I have to also buy web hosting through same company (godaddy). I figured that if I bought domain from godaddy and went with a different site to use as webhost, it might make it slow for people to come to my website, b/c the domain that I bought from godaddy will have to redirect to the web host that is from A DIFFERENT company. I figure that it is best to buy domain and webhost from the same place b/c it will be the quickest for people to come onto my site with no lag time (there won’t be much redirection b/c both domain and webhost are from same company). Am I right in my thinking?

I advise HostMonster. They have many things that GoDaddy lacks, such as officialized support for PHP 5 (and not some file-renaming convention).

Also, they have CPANEL, great uptime and superb phone tech support (I’ve never been on the phone for longer than 2 minutes trying to wait for someone to answer my call).

As for the domain name – it doesn’t matter as much as you might think. Some companies will try to run their "game" on you and insert little fees here and there, but if you stay with GoDaddy or HostMonster or someone of equal calibre, you’ll wind up being okay. Just try to make sure you get your domain name with your hosting company. It saves on hassle and time.

How to move a website hosting?

February 19, 2010 123 hosting 3 Comments

I have three websites that are all built (by me) through a company called ‘Mr Site’. I would like to try building them myself via a program I’ve bought called ‘Website x5′ (Incomedia).

What I don’t understand is how to get the website addresses back from Mr Site. I originally bought the names via 123 Reg, and then I think they were transferred to Mr Site when I bought a ‘website package’ from Mr Site. It’s time to renew my website hosting package with Mr Site, and I don’t want to. But if I don’t – who gets the names? How do I transfer the names to me??

In other words, I own three website addresses which are currently being hosted through Mr Site. If I don’t renew with them, how do I get the names from them? How do I host my own site?

I hope this makes sense, and thank you for your help!

Well, the Domain names belong to you for the period prescribed by the contract you signed with whoever you got them from. Check to see how long you own them for, and you can renew that separately in most cases, or transfer it to another web host. I know Dream Host has a service for this. (Dream Host is the best host I have ever used.) As for transferring your site, you just need to download all of the files you have on the server, and then re-upload them to a new server of your choosing.

If you want to host your own site, and this is from your own machine at home I assume, you first need to read through your ISP’s terms of service. Most of them have specific notes forbidding running your own webserver. You might have to pay to upgrade your account through them. If you have all of that set up, it’s as simple as installing some form of freeware web server software on your machine, I recommend WAMP, mainly because of the simplicity and the wide range of plugins that you can get for it. Once you have that installed, just forward the port 80 on your router to the machine running wamp. I’ts really a simple process. I did it that way for quite a few years!

Hope this helps!

Who has the cheapest and best hosting plans?

Hi, I recently took possession of "9" wordpress blogs and I’m looking for a real good deal for hosting, can someone please let me know who has the best deals, best customer service and have a solid reputation online. Thanks very much!

I recommend one of these http://www.webhostingtable.com

Fatcow has the best deal right now.
Their standard price is $88/year
but they have the 50% sale at the moment.

Disk space: Unlimited
Bandwidth: Unlimited
A Free domain name
Unlimited domains and subdomains

Price: $44/year

They’re one of the oldest hosting companies, founded 1998, they’re also one of the largest, currently hosting about 500,000 websites.

Their hosting plan includes an easy, one click install of Wordpress from their control panel, and you could host multiple domains/websites on the single account. You would just need to purchase the additional domain names, either from Fatcow or from any 3rd party domain name registrar like Godaddy, Namecheap, Doster or someone else.

What’s a good and cheap web hosting provider? looking for something which can support databases and ASP.NET.?

February 2, 2010 asp.net hosting 9 Comments

I’m doing a site for my high school class reunion, so I don’t need much in the way of bandwidth. Also would like to be able to add a lot, since I’m a recent computer science grad, and I’m looking to put together a portfolio.

I recommend either Godaddy Economy or the Deluxe plan:

http://www.hosttell.com/godaddy/

(prices from $4.74/month – $6.99/month)

You just have to select windows hosting (instead of linux which is selected by default). This option is located on top of the plans description. I would even recommend you the Deluxe hosting, because it allows you to host multiple domains on the same account, so you can add your personal site or others to the same account. (you just have to buy additional domain names).
