Starting a new website

I need to setup a new business website with emails for a client and need suggestions for
Domain purchase - (godaddy?)
Hosting
Email ids
Client is on a budget so I am not looking for anything too expensive but still something that offers good support.

 

cheapest option for you would be ipage
they have 1.99$ coupon right now.
for 1 year hosting+domain

use it to start your website for the time being. and after you get traffic, move to proper high speed hosting.

 

For domains, go with either Namecheap or Namesilo. Hosting and emails can be under one roof (i.e., with your hosting provider). If you need help I can personally hook you up with one of our SSD hosting plans, just let me know.

 

I will suggest namecheap.com

 

I would not use GoDaddy if you need emails because they charge you for each one with their shared hosting packages. I have a few different hosting accounts with different companies atm, but the service that I recommend you checkout is https://asmallorange.com/. I use their shared hosting for my PBNs. Their customer service has an awesome 24/7 live chat, the servers are quality, and it's really inexpensive. You can also create as many emails as you want at no additional cost, which is generally the case with most hosts.

I'd also use namecheap to purchase domains. I've purchased close to 20 domains through namecheap over the last couple months, and each domain purchased includes domain privacy for the first year, and i believe it's $3 a year thereafter if you want to keep the privacy. namecheap also has great customer support with a live chat if needed.

Both services have coupons available so definitely look those up or open a chat and ask for one before making a purchase. I actually opened a live chat and talked with a small orange's support for about 15min before signing up. It was honestly the best way for me to gauge the quality of the service without making a purchase, and I'm glad I did.

 

Namecheap is an excellent choice. However, I would recommend you to get an expired or an expiring domain if you are not picky on the name of the site. These would be advantageous because they are already in Google most likely and have a good domain age.

 

This is a good idea, but you need to know exactly what you are looking for if you choose to do this. 99% of the quality domains that expire are held on to and resold by registrars these days, but every now and then you can find a diamond in the rough. Just for starters you need to look at Domain Authority, Page Authority, Trust Flow, backlink profiles, and a bunch of other stuff. You need to make sure the site hasn't been de-indexed and has never been associated with anything like porn, gambling, pharmaceutical pills, etc.

The Way Back Machine is a great site to check the past history of a domain - https://archive.org/web/

There's definitely a learning curve to this and it could end up being a huge headache if you are on a schedule. You're client likely has a business name in mind so you may be better off starting with a fresh domain and clean backlink profile. Then offer to help with SEO as a future service that you can provide.

 

Godaddy sucks, sorry to be so upfront but the way they manage it is super complicated, their support system is poor and there are layers after layers of charges for every single thing. And worst of all if you want to cancel or move something, they even ask your shoe size. Namecheamp is good or Aligator hosting.

 

GoDaddy is confusing sure. And the bs fees are annoying as hell. But they offer a full suite and they have the best domain auctions versus the two sites you mentioned.

 

GoDaddy auctions is pretty much the only thing that company has going for it and that even has fees on top of fees. People who use GoDaddy are usually new to hosting or don't know any better. It's just one of those big companies that people flock to because it's a big well known company.

 

I recommend NameCheap for the domain. There are many good hosting options. I just started with SiteGround and am liking it so far.

 

i go to hostgator for hosting. they have a multiple offer that you can choose to. myself choose baby plan.
for domain, i go to godaddy. they have a cuopon that you can easily search on search engine.

 

Forget about godaddy.. try hostgator or ipage..

 

Hosting companies are very, very competitive and each one will constantly run promotions, etc. My advice is google hosting companies and create a spread sheet with costs and performance issues that are important to you and run the numbers.

 

well, let me know if you still looking
I will try to get you domain+hosting for free.

Pro Tip: Buy your domain from a dedicated registrar.

Buying your domain from a shared hosting is like putting a spiked leash around neck that links you to that host.

They will make it VERY difficult to transfer that domain for obvious reason (they would be losing you as a client).

Although there are some exceptions, this is my advice.

I always use Namecheap

I have used other registrars in the past, but they always seem to have some sort of problem.

Namecheap is simple and reliable, which is exactly what you need.



For hosting, just a get a LEB VPS or something and install LAMP stack


Let me know if you need any help with this, just PM me.

 

WebHostingBuzz offers good support and their packages are scalable so you can pick and choose what you need.

 

Stay away from godaddy or you will end up buying unnecessary services , and they are not cheap , will suggest namecheap or name.com

 

So far I've been happy with GoDaddy for my domains and polurnet for my shared hosting service.
