Author Topic: Cheapest domain name registration website  (Read 889 times)

Ok so I want to register a domain, anyone know any cheap websites for it besides godaddy?

Also, is there anywhere I can buy cheap web hosting that supports php and sql?

Not sure if it's cheapest but I hear good things about Hover.

They sponsor the Hello Internet podcast and you may be able to get 10% off with the code 'React'. I think it's still in date.

domain names aren't expensive. having a decent registrar is worth like the $5 difference you'd otherwise save by going with like CheapDomainNames.com or something
so I suggest google domains. $20 a year, for mine, which is both very affordable and typical. you might be able to get a domain name for like $3 from some other place, but I can guarantee you that renewals will not be that cheap

namecheap is my favorite. have been using them for 3 years

so what about cheap hosting that supports mysql?

shared hosting is generally trash, but if you don't think you could handle setting up a VPS, it's a lot simpler
I have a mochahost shared hosting plan in addition to my VPS. it's... not great, but it isn't bad either. I paid about $85 for three years of service (which is why I still have the plan), which is a pretty good price. I pay $20 monthly for my VPS, but it's with nfoservers, and you can get cheaper VPS plans from other companies

While it's true you can get a VPS for cheaper at other providers, with NFO, you can be sure you're getting your moneys worth. One of the most high quality providers around.

NFO's VPSes are literally handicapped expensive

Why though? It's not like your registrar is going to have downtime or something if you go with namecheap vs google domains. They're literally all equal quality.

I guarantee he doesn't need a VPS.


If you're going for budget, go with 000webhost. It's free, has PHP and MySQL, and is decent. It's nothing amazing, and you won't be able to host the next big thing off of it, but it's free and I've found it is relatively reliable.

Google Domains are 12 bucks a year for a domain. Plus free private whois.

For free web hosting, I'd choose x10hosting.com

I've been using them for at least 2 years now and the only condition is that you login to your account once a month; although, if you do forget to login they send you an e-mail to do so before they decide to nuke your website off the Internet.


I used namesilo to buy mine

And hostinger is free hosting
