Ultimate Blog Marketing

Question by chaser_downer: I want to get a domain for a business website, I’m registering but there are so many options?
The .com is available and what I’m getting, should I buy .net .org as well?

Do I need?
Private Registration which helps protect against spam, fraud, identity theft and more by shielding your personal information from public view.
Business Registration which provides vital details of your business to millions of daily WHOIS searchers.

Certified and uncertified?

Are these important or just ways for them to get more money? Would just having the domain without anything else suffice? My website is going to be about fitness with free information plus services you can pay for.

I registered publicly and am very tired of the spam. I get more that 200 spam email a day. I would recommend Private Registration, with contact info on your website. As for certified or not…keep your money. You should check out tophost.com where hosts are rated and reviewed. Any other help let me know…

Question by jfyc: What features should you look for when registering a domain name?
I would like to register a domain name, but I don’t have a clue how to compare the registrars.

I’d look for an easy to use interface, a registrar that people speak highly of. GoDaddy, Dotster, and Yahoo are all very good.

Question by Phosphorus: Is it possible to host a website without registering a domain name?
I’d have to think that there is some way, otherwise the internet is pretty much owned by domain name registrars, as they would be the ones that would govern all websites.

Yes and people can access it, they just have to know the IP address.

Question by Ivory Herman: What is the difference between domain registering and hosting?
I need to get a website up for my church again. I used Yahoo to build my site, but I want to go to a different service becasue I can’t my new payment information in their systems (it keeps giving me this temporary error message) and their customer service makes me wait hours on the phone.

If I buy a domain from GoDaddy.com for a year, does that mean I log into their website and upload pages to my website? Or do I have to find yet another service to host my site? I am a bit confused.

I just want to buy the .com for a year, and log in and upload my site, etc.

If you purchase a domain name from GoDaddy, you do get a certain amount of space to set up a free website. This may be enough for your needs.

Question by Becca: After registering and paying for my web-domain name with site hosting, I can not find a way to access?
How do I begin accessing the site I purchases? I checked the search engine and it showed the name I claimed is available? The payment shows in my banking account so I know something is happening. Can you tell me what? Thank you for your prompt attention.

you usually have to wait 72 hours for your name to become active.. If if nothings happens after this get in touch with the people you registered the name with.
