Domain and Email hosting

[pinpinpin]

Hi all,

I am looking at registering the domain with webvisions.

As for email hosting, should I go under their email plan?

Is it common for people to register the domain and email hosting under the same website (such as webvisions, IP mirror, etc)?

What is the Pros and Cons?

Any other alternatives?

Kindly advice.

NO.

Why? Because they are overcharging.

Don't register the domain with your host. Simply because they can screw you easily.

Go with something mainstream like namecheap for domains.

You are recommended to split up your domain name hosting and web hosting. As for email hosting, they normally come with web hosting if you include that into your plan. Domain name hosting company also offer web and email hosting if you wanted to get from them.

Email are easier to migrate when you need to change hosting, not so with web hosting.

I suggest you get your domain from godaddy.com, then get your web hosting from webvision. Then change your nameservers of your domain pointing to webvision's will do. Keep the 2 entities different from a business perspective.

Personally I have been using Hostgator and namecheap for more than 2 years. Hostgator live chat support is awesome while namecheap has intuitive user interface.

The only issue here is when you need to transfer DNS and sometimes it take more than 2 days for the DNS to propagate.
