Just bought a domain; need help choosing a hosting option I just joined this forum so I could make better informed decisions about purchasing a domain - already did that - and possibly getting help with getting it up and running. I'm not exactly new at web development, but I've been on a sabbatical for several months and I'm finding that I might as well be starting at square 1. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ list of top cheapest hosting http://listtop.pw/ Top 200 best traffic exchange sites http://listtop.pw/surf list of top gpt sites list of top ptc sites list of top ptp sites list of top crypto currency Wallets sites Listtop.pw Listtop.pw Listtop.pw +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I bought my domain from porkbun.com after reading a recommendation here, it was cheap and included everything (some are still trying to charge separately for security certificates!!). Now I need to find a hosting company. A few I have looked at: - nixihost.com - veerotech.net - iwfhosting.net - knownhost.com Are those any good? How do I decide which one to use? All I need at the moment is a single domain hosted, with allowed subdomains, and email. I can build the website myself, but I will probably need some support once in a while. I had used name.com for hosting last time I had a website, a couple years ago, and their support was actually pretty awesome, but it seems their prices have gone way up. The purpose of my website is basically just to use as a portfolio to show my design work (3D drawings) and my very basic web apps. A single, multi-page static site. Forgive me if there is already a thread for this. I tried searching several different ways but I could not find anything. I was hoping to learn other's experiences with hosting companies, which ones had been proven trustworthy, had good support, etc. Thanks in advance! registration & hosting Also, I know it is recommended to keep registration and hosting separate. That being said, when you sign up for hosting, and they want you to transfer over your domain name, is that making them un-separate? I feel like that is probably a really dumb question, but I just now realized that maybe I have a misunderstanding of what that recommendation actually means. Should I choose the option "I will use my existing domain and update my nameservers"? Should I choose the option "I will use my existing domain and update my nameservers"? Yes. You are not transferring your domain or registering a new one with them with this option. I've only hosted with Knownhost for a short time, but their support has been fast, competent and professional so far. I know that there are a number of reviews of at least VeeroTech and KnownHost on these forums so might be worth doing a search to read feedback from some of their customers I tried searching several different ways but I could not find anything.

Branden Tobin - Customer Relations Forward Web Click Here to View Our Enterprise Grade Web Hosting Offer Did you try to search with their company or domain name? The providers you mentioned have several reviews here. Well, sure, I can do that, but I just listed four completely random providers. This is no way to do proper research. Maybe this is the wrong forum for a generalized provider recommendation. I'm not even sure if I want to go with shared hosting or VPS. Veerotech is very good indeed. I've been with them since March last year, so arguably still relatively new with them, but they're solid and their support is excellent if you need it. James Interested in which hosts I'd recommend?

Should I choose the option "I will use my existing domain and update my nameservers"? Yes, choose existing domain and only update the nameserver. If anything would to happen to your hosting company or hosting account, you’ll still have full control of your domain. Yeah I signed up last week to knownhost and they migrated my 7 sites within a few hours and responded to any questions quickly. Glad I did as I was with servint for 15 years, they sold out to leaseweb a few months back and they have been down all day today and their service status says it is going to be at least several more hours. make money homesteading how does tiffany d make money 8 hostel manila domain trust relationship te-results.com payeer.com 1&1 hosting forum airbnb host community forum yoursmartprofit.com tepayday.com host forum airbnb 8 ball pool make money host in french hosting gift ideas zaneymailz.com make money yakuza 6 bannersurfers.com
