Domain registration?

angieamme

Hi
I think I may have found a little niche and there doesn't seem to be a website set up for it at the moment.
I would like to register about 4 domain names to cover the .com and .co.uk variations and wondered if anyone can recommend the best value for money company for domain registration.
Would love to get a single parking page to redirect to a facebook page which is where I will start up.
Thanks

I use Namecheap for names and Hostgator for hosting. Both are among the best value for money. Not sure I would pay out for four domains with the same names though. In the unlikely event that you'd like to make me some affiliate money, PM me for my links if you decide to go with them.

I use Market Samurai to check niche viability. I hope you have found a niche that has low competition and pays well!

Thanks I guess I am looking at just registering the variations. Would only end up using one site eventually just pointing the others at that site.
Total cost ofr the names is only around £30 for a year (could spend that in Tescos and still not have anything for dinner!!!).
I guess we all hope we find that niche...all I can say is that I think it is worth a go and couldn't believe it when the domains weren't registered already. So fingers crossed !

I have used 123-reg and godaddy. Both have provided good services and are reasonable with costs.

What's the difference between buying name and buying hosting capabilities? Do you know how to buy domain names like instagram's? eg. https://www.instagr.am

Have to agree with a poster above that 123 reg and GoDaddy are the way to go. I use 123 reg for registering .co.uk domains and GoDaddy for .coms

I use Dreamhost who are American and have had little problems with their hosting for the past 2 1/2 years.

Good too hear, as they get a fair bit of criticism from people.

A top marketing guy recommended me to them back in April 2010, so if it's good enough for him then, ........................

Hosting and domain names are two separate services, though companies that offer one almost always offer both.

Domain name, is literally just that, you lease a domain name and control where it sends requests to

Hosting, online storage space/ web server and you can generally have a subdomain of your hosts domain or if you buy your own domain you can point it at your hosting.

As to https://www.instagr.am as a domain name - well it is actually a domain called instagr which is registered under the Armenian top level domain (.am) rather than the UK's (.uk)

Godaddy allows you to buy .am domains but a lot of these TLDs that are easy to make words with typically cost much more than the mainstream .uk, .com etc
