Free Domain Names with Web Hosting

Years ago, the concept of getting a free domain name with your web hosting was like a shot in the dark. The deals were out there, but they were few and far between. Now, though, it almost seems like a foolish move to buy web hosting that does not include a free domain name for the life of the account, because so many reputable companies are offering them along with their web hosting plans.

I’ve helped hundreds of women put their home crafting businesses online and the first step is always walking them through choosing just the right host for their individual needs. However, one thing I generally recommend for all of them is to look for a deal where their main domain name will be free with the life of their account. Web Hosting Geeks has a website that reviews and rates nearly every web hosting company you can imagine and they have an entire page devoted to those that offer free domain names. The Web Hosting Geeks site is a great first stop if you are shopping around for a host, by the way.

Of course, you need to look at a lot of different parameters when choosing the right host. You want to look at price, reputation, genuine customer reviews, how long they have been in business, and if they offer the features you need for your website or network of websites. It’s a process that I suggest you take a solid month to research. And of course, you can always shoot me an e-mail if you want my opinion on what will work for you.
