Where should i buy my domain name from?

[AlTech]

Sup guys,

I'm gonna be getting a domain and I was wondering where I should buy it from.

 

Anybody got any suggestions?

I've heard of domain.com, GoDaddy and a few others but I'm not sure which I should use.

 

Thanks .

You can get a .tech domain for only $4 a year from GatorHost

Just saying,if you would like a .tech domain

 

If you want .com i would go with GoDaddy or Gatorhost which one is cheaper

If I'm going to be using Wix for my website design layout, Should I also just use them for the domain? Paying for a year of Wix Premium plan gives me a free domain (at the cost of $25 USD/month)

All the bells and whistles BUT It's expensive .  And I don't know if I can pay that much per month or not BUT there's like no comparing Website hosting in the same category except for square space.

Well $25/month is quite expensive,but you can go to Weebly and get the Pro package for $12/month + 1 year free domain + latter you get to connect your own after this one expires,now i don't know what's the difference between a Wix $25 and a Weebly $12 but Weebly has its own $25 Business package

I use GoDaddy for all my domain names. 

 

I have no complaints, but I don't use any of their services other than just the name itself.

 

I use Cloudflare for DNS, which is fantastic and would highly recommend.

And there are plenty of server hosts you can choose from, they're all about the same really. I use DigitalOcean.

 

If you choose to use DigitalOcean I can get you a free $5-$20 (can't remember how much exactly) on it with my referral link - And I get a $5 credit for it too.

They offer a $16/month plan but it has a 10GB bandwidth cap.

Been going with GoDaddy for the past 5 or 6 years alongside their Linux hosting (which was bundled for free with my domain, somehow).

Haven't had problems with customer support (except when Cloudflare messed up their centers, but that was resolved within 48h)

Also be warey of these "Free domains"

Make sure you actually own the domain, when you take out a subscription, otherwise you're locked into using them forever.

 

And domains are usually pretty cheap, all mine are about $10 a year on GoDaddy. So paying extra to get it for "free" isn't worth it.

 

Remember, nothing is ever free, they always get their costs back from somewhere.

I personally use Namecheap.

 

GoDaddy has a had a lot of hate in the past. Might have improved since then.

Yeah, I've noticed a lot of people seem to hate on GoDaddy.

 

I've used them for 4 years now, I don't understand why there is/was a lot of hate against them.

 

Unless some of their other services are awful, and I've only ever used them as a registrar only?

[Nineshadow]

You can get free .tk domains.

Things I have heard of: Pro-SOPA. CEO posted video of himself poaching an elephant. Sexist marketing.

Ohh right.

 

Hate against the company, not the product.

 

That's fair, I was just oblivious to any of that.

Namecheap gets my vote. I use them for all of my personal and company domains.

Well if you want you can pay $25/month if you have the money,but consider if your a small business then something smaller will work just fine

[AlTech]

I might just go for Wix. I found another plan they offer which is $13/month so I'll probably go with that.

If you ever want to be indexed on Google then never use a .tk domain.

I know.

@AluminiumTech This is still about the update thing right?

Kind of but not entirely. I knew I wanted one eventually but I never found a real reason I needed one.
