Several members recommended familiar names — mentioned BigRock and free DNS options, praised Hostgator, and others (for example and ) backed big-brand registrars. Popularity is fine, but long-term value usually comes from a registrar’s policies and controls rather than its marketing. The short checklist below focuses on the durable items that matter after year one.

  • Transparent renewal and transfer pricing (watch first‑year promos vs renewal and any transfer‑out fees).
  • WHOIS/privacy handling (does the registrar include free privacy or charge annually; how do they respond to lawful requests?).
  • Security defaults: two‑factor authentication, registrar/registry lock, change notifications and audit logs.
  • DNS and feature set: full record types, DNSSEC support, API or bulk tools for multiple domains.
  • Transfer friendliness: easy EPP/AuthInfo access, no artificial transfer blocks, and awareness of ICANN 60‑day rules after registration or a change of registrant.
  • Keep registrar and hosting separate where practical to avoid accidental lock‑in or bundled transfer complexity. ()

Typical transfer/setup workflow (common, repeatable steps):

  1. Confirm domain status (older than 60 days and not under a recent Change‑of‑Registrant lock).
  2. Turn off registrar lock (clientTransferProhibited) and request the Auth/EPP code.
  3. If required by the gaining registrar, enable contact visibility (some registrars need WHOIS contact visible to verify).
  4. Initiate transfer at the new registrar and approve any Form of Authorization or email confirmations.
  5. After completion, re‑enable privacy, set auto‑renew if desired, enable 2FA and registry locks. ()

For many users the best fit is a registrar that combines transparent pricing, included privacy, and strong security. Cloudflare Registrar offers at‑cost pricing with secure defaults, and Namecheap includes free WhoisGuard for most TLDs; other low‑cost, privacy‑friendly options include NameSilo and Porkbun. Regardless of choice, priority should be ownership controls (email security, 2FA, transfer lock) and clear renewal terms before registering. (cloudflare.com)

I find the services of BigRock (http://www.bigrock.in) very good. For web hosting, 000webhost and xtreemhost are good free choices. If you want paid, go to BigRock! Also, if you want to host your own website on your own machine, check out the freedns project (http://freedns.afraid.org)! :)

I suggest Hostgator. IMO they have an A-1, Top-of-the-Class Customer Service AND Uptime rating.

Heck, you can even buy a domain name from Google if you purchase Google Apps or even get the free single account edition. There are plenty of choices! It's all up to you. :)

How about GoDaddy or MediaTemple... they are pretty popular but they are premium

Hello,

I suggest you use GoDaddy for domain name registration as it is the one of the best domain registrars in the world and it also provides very interesting deals to their customers. On the other hand you could use Hostgator to host your website. From personal experience I would also recommend that you get a referral from simplewebsitetutorials, by which you can avail of special discount coupons for Godaddy and Hostgator.
