Description
Many hosts offer free domain registration with their hosting plans. It’s tempting. But I’ve cancelled plans & then had to pay over $20 for the “free” domain name. Then I’ve switched hosts & had to login to the old one to manage my domain name. I could’ve transferred it to my new host but that would’ve cost even more money. Instead, I’ve come to prefer keeping my registrar & host separate.
Namecheap is a registrar & they’re so cheap I got two domain names for the price of the one above. They’re recommended elsewhere which is why I went to them in the first place. Due to installing an SSL certificate I had a bit of trouble pointing one domain name to the other. I requested help & they replied quickly plus their advice actually worked. So I’m going to recommend them here.
