Site Hosting
|
You are totally spoilt for choice when deciding where to register your domain, there are literally hundreds of sites with which you can register domain names.
The chances are that the company you use to register your domain will be the same one you use to host your website. So, before you register your domain with anyone in particular, you will need to make sure they offer all of the facilities that you require and that their server platform is suitable for any programming techniques used in the development of your website.
For example if your site consists of mainly ASP (Active Server Pages) then I would strongly advise you to choose an ISP (Internet Service Provider) who will host your site on Windows Servers.
Although I am resident in the UK, I have been known to host one or two of my ventures through US web hosts where the product will appeal to a US audience and product delivery can be transacted electronically (software, books and publications)
Examples of web-hosts that score very well with excellent customer reviews, a good range of services, good technical support, and fast infrastructure can be found below:
