subject: Why It Is Better To Hire The Same Company To Both Register A Domain Name And Host A Website [print this page] Many people and businesses these days have websites. If you are considering getting a website, there are two parts to this. You have to register your domain name, and then you have to build your website. If you don't know how to do the latter, don't worry. That is one of the reasons why many domain registering sites also create websites for clients.
Look around and you will find that there are many different businesses that do domain registration and web hosting. There are plenty of options for you. To save money, you likely will want to have one company do the domain registration but have a different company take care of your hosting needs.
By splitting up the services in this way, you can take advantage of the best price for each service offered by any company.
On the other hand, maybe it is convenience you are after and you don't really care too much about price. If that is the case, you do want to get a package deal where one company registers your domain name and then hosts your website.
By doing this, you cut the paperwork and hassle in half. You have only one company to deal with for any problems your website may experience.
Plus, there is only one bill. That's a lot easier, when you can send in one payment to one company, instead of two or more.
Watch how much you are paying though. There is no cost regulation for hosting products and services. Companies can pretty much charge you as much as they think you are going to be willing to pay.
It's up to you to do some research and comparison shopping. Check out server space, hosting fees, and domain registration. If you don't, you have no way to make sure you won't be vastly overpaying for the services you need. That would be foolish, especially when you consider that you are not going to want to change over to a new domain host to save money after your website is already up and running on your original host server.
