Its very common for user to get domain name from domain registrar and later host the domain at seperate web hosting company. This is one of the best configuration, and we also recommend this way of setup for your domain name and web hosting plan. Your domain name should be at domain registrar, there is more domain name bargain here, cheaper price especially when you place bulk order, and also cheaper .info domain name even under $1 dollar per year. Domain registrar not necessary a good web hosting provider. For example godaddy, dotster, namecheap, networksolutions and netfirms are good domain registrar, and their web hosting package are not the most attractive to own. Hostgator domain name price is $15 per year, its not a good bargain and very costly when you ordering domain names in bulk.

This is when you can get domain name from registrar like godaddy, namecheap, dotster or netfirms, and later host your website at web hosting company like hostgator, bluehost, hostmonster, justhost and others. Its a best practise and its how you can find the best web hosting deal and cheap domain registration at the same time.

Its very common to see “unlimited domain hosting” as part of shared web hosting feature. What exactly is unlimited domain hosting really mean? From the sentense we know that, its “unlimited” + “domains”. And its a web hosting plan that allow you to host unlimited domain names in single web hosting account.

Well, php web hosting are usually offering in cpanel, vdeck, or h-sphere control panel, and these control panel allows you to add new domain name into your account, and host the new domain name at your same web hosting space.

By adding new domain name into your existing hosting account! You are now have a new website hosted in your web hosting plan.

Domain name registration is getting cheaper and cheaper and some registrar is offering at wholesale price of $6.50 or lower. Some registrar is selling at $15 or more. If you think it’s the same, think again.

Same as you, I always search for cheaper domain name registration and try to do as much saving as I could. I search through the web, and found five to six domain registrars and compare each of them for the best deal and finally only sign up to them.

If you are a budget domain owner, go ahead and keep doing that. As I getting deeper into the fact behind domain registration, I start to realized that there is different between them. And now I will compare the features and then the price.

Domain name that is selling cheap usually are using single domain nameserver. Even they are giving you two nameserver for the domain. The primary nameserver and the secondary nameserver. And the two server are probably located in the same datacenter, and that’s it. Selling few hundreds domain name, and everyone is pointed to these two servers. Could you imagine the load when you are having 500,000 domain names on them?

When quality become the main concern, you will need to look for domain registration with multiple dns at different location. Yes, there is such solution. For example hostgator domain name is selling at $15 per year, and they are using multiple DNS servers group and redundantly located in few locations. http://www.hostgatorreview.org/hostgator/hostgator-domain/ . Its like having remote backup for your domain name as well.

When you are having redundant backup facilities like this one, your downtime will become minimum. And easily goes beyond industry standard. Now, think again when you look for $1 domain name.

Lately a friend of my was asking how many parked domain is allowed on hostgator web hosting plan. I told him, refer to hosting features at hostgator website. And he come back to me said that its not there, no parked domain stated. Ok, i bit confused and take another look at the hostgator hosting features again. He is right. Its not there.

For your quick reference. Hostgator shared hosting plan with unlimited domains: baby plan, swamp plan, semi-dedicated plan will have unlimited domain and as well unlimited parked domain. Same goes to reseller hosting and dedicated server from hostgator.

I also notice that there is new reseller diamond plan and new dedicated server with conreo processor being released from hostgator lately. Will write more reviews on these next time.

After sign up Hostgator hosting for sometime, now i come across the need to register a new domain name, and hopefully from hostgator itself. So that the domain name is attached here, easy for future maintenance work of mine. I found out that the domain pricing is $15 per domain per year. wow.. thats bit expensive i can say. But wait, i digg deeper and found out that its bit different in quality and sense of greater reliability. Why? here is there answer from Hostgator:

“Most companies offer customers one or two domain servers — one main server, and one for backup. When you register your domain name with hostgator, your domain name is backed by six servers distributed around the U.S. The result? Superior connectivity and reliability.”

This result in greater site visibility, reliability, and more reachable. Trouble with DNS and people can’t find your website is cut to minimum. Guess this makes the $15 worth it. Whats the point of paying $9 when the dns is so weak, and causing downtime most the time, right!

How to purchase domain name from Hostgator? Great, host gator not putting this link for easy access from their homepage, i browse here and there, and still can’t find it. Finally i found this at their knowledgebase, http://www.hostgator.com/domains . Go to this website, and order your new domain name from Hostgator hosting.
