    What is the best site for buying a domain, and hosting a blog? Possibly a forum as well?

    I really did not know where to post this so I am sorry if this is the wrong forum for this post.

    Thanks

    Will your parents let you use their credit card so you can get real hosting?

    Nope. I have to use the Paypal money for buying a domain and hosting. I could probably get them to let me use their credit card if it is really needed.

    So is it easy to setup a wordpress blog and a forum with them? If yes, then I shall use them.

    What plan do you recommend for me? The forum will only come later so I only need space for a blog... I would like a 6-month plan or maybe a 1 year plan.

    According to Goddady's web hosting - Wordpress... is a free Add-on Application?

    Maybe there is some other host as well?

    The only thing I am worried about is...

    Is it easy to install Wordpress with Goddady? If it is... then I am sold!

    Godaddy for domains, for hosting depends if you need shared,vps, dedicated etc

    Need to check payment options, decide if you need country specific server locations etc.
