Register domain at hostmonster?

Should register my domain at hostmonster.com? If I change hosts i can keep that domain right? or should i register my domain somewhere else? I'm a bit confused xD

 

Register a domain name through a hosting service is not a good practice. Though they commonly say your are able to transfer your retain ownership and you would be able tro transfer your domain elsewhere, there is a large number of services failing in this matter when you want to drop the hosting.

With the exception of Yahoo and Netfirms, I would not registrar a domain through a hosting service, better try a reputed registrar and the point your nameserver to your new webspace.

Thanks. Do you have any registrars in mind?

 

i suggest name.com and godaddy

 

Thank you very much.

 

i register all my domains with godaddy. its easier to manage if i have them all under one account. besides they are reputable register/host as well

 

I use to get my domain with separate providders in order to avoid any issue that might arise when I decide to point it elsewhere

usually I buy names at namecheap, 1and1 or godaddy

 

I used hostmonstor for one of my sites quite a while ago then a transferd it to another host so yes you do get to keep the domain with hostmonstor.

 

This is true. It just takes a little longer to transfer.

 

Okay I registered with Name.com. Is that okay?

 

Sure it is. It really doesn't matter where you register your domain. Once you find your host just point the nameservers to your domain in name.com and you'll be all set.
