Hi,

for a company (and after seeing some of the names we wanted and were trademarks in our country were taken by parking pages !!!) I need to purchase 5 domain names, 4 in .com and 1 in .info

We don't want to pay too high a price of course but we prefer someone reliable and stable and will host somewhere else.

Any advice ?

Thanks in advance !

Domain name is cheap at around 6 to 12 per yr so that should not be a problem. Look for an ICANN acredited registrar and key in proper/correct admin contact when you register. Even if the registrar goes down, the domain will still be yours.

eNom, NetSolutions, Moniker, and DirectI are popular.

I use eNom myself.

Glad to know we keep the DNS even if the seller goes down.

BTW a question about godaddy as I saw lots of positive reports.

Everytime I go to their site there are troubles with the certificates. Any idea why ? (I use Opera as a browser).

Once I have a DNS with one seller, how do I practically use it for the title of a site hosted somewhere else ?

Loulong,

You will have to change name servers at the Registrar for your domain name, so it can resolve to your Hosting Provider DNS.
