GDI, I personally prefer Hostgator. They are very reliable and have great customer support. Their pricing is competitive, but they aren't the cheapest. I have several clients that have hosted with 1 and 1. Other than modifying sites on their servers, I don't have personal experience with them. Legacy Marketing does offer hosting, but only to clients that we have either developed their site or maintain it. We aren't into bulk hosting.

Sorry, I don’t agree. I like that I can call their customer service and talk to a native, English speaking person within 5 minutes. On more than one occasion, they have helped me sort out domain issues for clients that weren’t even registered through them. You can always find a discount code for GoDaddy , even without their discount club. Namecheap is only a dollar less at regular price and GoDaddy is cheaper with a discount code.

Also, I’ve never seen GoDaddy do domain kiting, and I can’t say the same for other big registrars.

If you care about your clients, do not refer them to goddady. There are other registrars better and cheaper than Goddady. Period.

I think UGG Australia had an issue with domain names before. There was this company called Uggs and Rugs who sued UGG Australia for putting a trademark on the word “uggs”. Uggs are the generic name for any sheepskin boots in Australia and giving one company exclusive use of the word was completely unfair to the industry. The trademark was eventually removed in Australia but in retaliation, UGG Australia bought the domain name for Uggs and Rugs, including the mispelt names and all.

great advice. I would add that you register your domain name for at least 10 years, that way it is untouch for the next 10 years. Also, this helps with seo
