There are quite a number of good hosts around and quite a number are found right here at WHT.

I guess I would probably count good or best if it means my needs so it is hard to generalize.

Edwin makes a valid point. There is no "best" hosting company. There is only what is best for you.

Try searching around on the forums, on search engines, wherever. Web hosting directories are a good place to find companies with specifications you'd like.

If you have any friends who have their own domains, ask them for help. Word of mouth can help you a lot

Best of luck!

I would recommend GoDaddy (http://www.godaddy.com) for your domain registration. As far as web hosting goes, maybe you should ask your friends who they have had good experiences with.

Dude i guess you are looking for " The Best Domain Registrar ". RegisterFly is a good one or Enom, Inc.

Your thread title says hosting but your post says domain. A few questions:

1) Are you looking for recommendations for a domain registar and/or webhosting company? If you're looking for a domain registrar then I highly recommend NameCheap.com (http://www.namecheap.com/).

2) What's your monthly or annual budget?

3) If you're looking for webhosting, how much MB/GB bandwidth do you need?

Well, it supposed this is the first time the person is hosting a web site and thus the confusion. Probably assumed that you register a name and then you host it there.

It is true that a number of domain name registrar provides free or paid hosting as an additional service when they register the domain and hence the confusion.

We know that domain names are portable but that might not all be clear to the newbies and some times, web hosts may provide the 'full service' by registering the domain name for the client upon signing up for a web hosting account.

So it is probably easy to get confused if you are new at it.
