Domain name companies

I want to purchase a domain name, I've used Godaddy before and they were ok, before I push the button does anyone have any recomendations?

I'd like email to be included, plus a small amount of web space just in case I want to put anything up.

i use godaddy too
i hate the website desugn but they are cheap

I've been very impressed with - http://www.express-hosting.co.uk/

They do a starter package for pretty cheap, and the tech support has been awesome.

Thanks for the advice chaps.

Just been playing with whois and every version of my username is bloody registered!

Mostly by speculators it would seem.

Meh.

For my hosting purposes I use (mt) Media Temple. Really solid, great service really recommend it!

mediatemple.net

i use 1and1, but them i'm old fashioned

How has the world changed in the past few years ?
I'd like to register a Domain or two and look to setup a forum.
I'm sure there are many traps I could fall into, and would love some good advice from those on here with some insight.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Gandi are great. They obscure your whatis and are generally awesome.
Avoid GoDaddy, they're wankers.

Bumping instead of starting a new thread...

I have bought a domain (from GoDaddy) and I have started a small/simple website to showcase my work through Wix.

I've connected the 2 things together so now when you type in 'thevandalmetalworks.com' you should end up at my site but the address bar displays the Wix address (https://mrwarner2000.wixsite.com/website).

Anyone know if/how I make it so that it would just have thevandalmetalworks.com in the address bar?

Did you do this? https://support.wix.com/en/article/connecting-a-domain-purchased-elsewhere

Yeah.

I'm getting this screen when I go on the 'Domains' bit of Wix and they have actually sent me an email to say my domain has 'gone live' or whatever but maybe I just need to wait a bit longer and it'll work properly.

DNS changes can sometimes take ages to happen, give it 24 hours.

And godaddy are still wankers, I recommend namecheap.

I have a dot-EU domain that I'll lose the rights too shortly, how complex is it to assign ownership to a member of the family who will be living in an EU country post 31st Dec?

Easy. Whoever you registered it with should be able to tell you about ownership changes.

Dead thread reawake!

I’m shortly to launch a website (built using Wix). Any suggestions on hosting? I’d like a proper email address associated with the domain and don’t really fancy the price of a Google Workspace account which is what Wix tie you in to. Will need a domain, hosting and mailbox I guess.

OVH, easy peasy

Ah great. Will check them out - thank you.
