During the domain name registration various additional/options features are presented by the registration company. 1)I plan to use the domain name for my consultation business. Please suggest which features are essential? 2)Is it necessary to host the webpage with the same company that provides the domain name registration? Thank You Regards Sachin Aggarwal
Typically, the basic domain name registration is sufficient, you most likely do not need any add-on features. What are the other options being offered ? No, it is not necessary to host your web sites from where you buy your domain name from. Most of the time, it is best not to use the same company. For instance, GoDaddy is good with its core business which is Domain name registration but they lack behind in other services which they offer like web hosting. In fact, I believe there are numerous complains about Godaddy hosting. You be better off finding a better web host around.
1) Good Features can be: - Free email forwarding - Free URL forwarding - Free DNS Changes - Setup your own DNS servers - Free Privacy Protection - Manage DNS records - Working phone support - Affordable prices - Good reputation - Many payment methods - Free push (For domainers) 2) You can host the domain on a different company than the registrar.
