It dosent make a differnce where you get a domain from noob! Its where you get the hosting from that matters Shut the fuck up. I didn't say it didn't say it didn't matter where he got the domain from. I just said it was best for him to get the domain from a reputable company. -- Posted by spikeyhair at 3:12 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 if i get them both from the same place what if i dont like the hosting. can i switch? will there be problems? -- Posted by allsmiles at 3:13 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Get them separately. Hosting companies tend to make managing your domain name a hassle (there are notable exceptions), but domain registrars have no such obligations. -- Posted by moonkin at 3:14 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Quote: from spikeyhair at 3:12 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 if i get them both from the same place what if i dont like the hosting. can i switch? will there be problems? Exactly. It's best to get your domain from like godaddy or shit as you may or may not have difficulties moving your domain if you got it from your host. -- Posted by scottyrob at 3:16 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 ..

Ussually eNom and Nominet. When you login to GoDaddy they have there own interface with there own logo, but it is exactly the same as the interface on eNom and Nominent. Wherever you register the domain you will have access to the acctuall registrars control panel for your domain. In many cases you just have to ask for the details! There, happy? -- Posted by spikeyhair at 3:33 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Quote: from allsmiles at 3:13 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Get them separately.

He was speaking from his lack of knowledge and experience. If you have no idea about how these things work it makes much more sense to go to somewhere that provides it all in one. -- Posted by moonkin at 3:36 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Quote: from spikeyhair at 3:33 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Quote: from allsmiles at 3:13 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Get them separately.

Too many possible problems. Might as well get Godaddy domain + hosting or Namecheap domain + hosting or Yahoo domain + hosting -- Posted by allsmiles at 3:36 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 I guess I must be really unlucky with my hosts then - only one has provided me with full domain access. That's not a lack of experience, that's a bad experience. -- Posted by scottyrob at 3:40 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Quote: from allsmiles at 11:36 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 I guess I must be really unlucky with my hosts then - only one has provided me with full domain access. That's not a lack of experience, that's a bad experience. If they dont give it to you then you ask what registrar it is. If its not eNom or Nominet then there a pretty naff place to start with! If it is either of those you ask for the details for the control panel on there websites as you did pay for the website. -- Posted by moonkin at 3:40 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Quote: from allsmiles at 3:36 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 I guess I must be really unlucky with my hosts then - only one has provided me with full domain access.

If you have to email them then that means they are most likley using a control panel like eNom's or Nominets but are too lazy or have the lack of money to provide you with one on there website! Id certianly stay clear if they cant even provide a control panel for yourself -- Posted by allsmiles at 3:48 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Quote: from scottyrob at 11:44 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Quote: from allsmiles at 11:43 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Quote: from scottyrob at 11:40 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 Quote: from allsmiles at 11:36 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 I guess I must be really unlucky with my hosts then - only one has provided me with full domain access.

Id certianly stay clear if they cant even provide a control panel for yourself I have done in the end. I use a separate registration service since I've moved on to VPS' and then dedi's. Saves the hassle and risk of repeated occurance. -- Posted by rand0mguy at 6:52 pm on Aug. 25, 2008 depends wat u want... do some research and find out wats cheapest... -- Posted by spikeyhair at 3:03 am on Aug. 26, 2008 what about bluehost for hosting and domain, or maybe just hosting? i heard they were better then most. -- Posted by scottyrob at 4:13 am on Aug. 26, 2008 www.4uhosting.co.uk www.blackwhite-hosting.co.uk www.uk2.net Ive used all of those and they all work fantastically. No problems with any of them. I know the first uses Nominet, the second eNom, the third im not sure... But i would recommend any of those! Big companies are crap, offer little support to you, and can be quite slow. -- Posted by spikeyhair at 12:33 pm on Aug. 27, 2008 but what about bluehost...has anybody used it? Pages: 1 2  Next
