My wife wants to register a set of domains for a small (long term) project she's thinking of starting. I've checked and a nice set of 'same name' domains are available as .com, .co.uk and .biz.
The question is should I just register the domains and host them on the home Linux system or can I get a reasonable deal from anywhere for hosting and registration all in one go?
We do hosting + domains names (We currently host the alug site)
Can anyone recommend a single registration company/site which can do all these TLDs at a reasonable price? I've used Just The Names for my isbd.ltd.uk domain and they are reasonably priced for .com and .co.uk but they're expensive for .biz.
.biz are slightly more expensive as they have to be registered for 2 years. But it works out £8.50 per year. If you contact us first we can also do something on the domain cost.
Hosting starts out at £3 per month and normally is restricted to one domain, but for alug members we would remove that restriction.
If I host them on the home system (which already hosts isbd.ltd.uk forwarded from Just The Names) is it possible to 'virtual host' a number of domains even when they're registered with (possibly) different companies?
Yes there are no restrictions, and if you find they are getting more traffic you could always move them.
We offer free DNS hosting as well so could do this included in the domain cost.
If you have any questions please feel free to email me and Ill do my best to answer them
