Q: I’m looking for a good domain registrar and hosting provider. If I could get both of these services from the same company, then that would be fantastic. Do you know of an affordable and reliable company that I should look into?

A: The difference in rates for Web hosting and domain registration is seriously disturbing. Some companies charge an arm and a leg, while others get away with demanding every single one of your internal organs, and in that state, you’re really not going to care if you have a Web site or not. Despite the abundance of these high priced services, you can still find companies who provide bargain deals, and in most cases, their service will far excel that of the competition. One good example of this is Go Daddy.

If you watched the commercials during the recent Super Bowl, then you’re probably familiar with this company and the conflict that their ad started. In any case, it drove traffic to their Web site and was rated as one of the best commercials during the entire game, so they must be doing something right. Anyway, they deserve the attention. Their rates and available services are fantastic, and you know that you’ll be in good hands with Go Daddy. Most of the people I know choose them over the competition without a second thought. When you need domain registration and hosting, Go Daddy.
