Web Domains

[foxnsquirrels]

Hi,

I am waiting to create a website for my business and would like to know of a trustworthy & reliable provider but do not want to pay through the nose at the same time. I'm located in Phuket so if there are any located here that would be good.

Anyone had some good experiences?

I don't know about local providers, but I can recommend you godaddy.com !

godaddy.com is easy as pie if you are knowledgeable enough to build your own website. i think you're looking about $60/year for domain and hosting service. PM me if you need help...

Godaddy is good. I use them. I also use domainhostingall, as a while ago Godaddy didn't accept paypal and the other one did.

Choose name and pay, under 10 US$/year for most top levels (.com .net etc)

Then find hosting. For a business don't go too cheap, proper hosting costs between 5 and 10$ per month, discounts if you prepay for a year.

If you need some practice, you can get fully featured hosting with 3ix. Includes everything, cpanel, databases, loads of scripts such as forums, content management, picture galleries, you name it! 1$/month!

Dirt cheap, simply the cheapest around BUT, very little support and not reliable enough for a business. As said, I have several accounts with them and generally use them for setting up and fine tuning websites, and when ready move them to a better/more reliable host...

You can register domain names from Google Apps now (get the standard (free) edition):

* $10 a year, comes with private registration as a standard feature.

* You get Gmail (50 accounts), Google Docs, Calendar etc under your own domain name.

* The nameserver for all this is configured automatically.

Best deal in town. The underlying registrar is Enom and you get full access/control over your domain.
