Private Domain Registration Is It Worth It – Your Questions…

Posted on by

Godaddy

Sandy asks…

Domain Name Registration?

Hey Everyone. I know there is no right or wrong answer here, i’m just looking for opinions.

I’m looking for a domain name thats good, but cheap. I am looking between godaddy, and hostway.com

I want a private registration, but godaddy adds $7 to your $10 registration per year.

I was checking out hostway.com, and theres is like $10, with the WHOIS protection included.

Is it worth doing godaddy for an extra $7? Or is their any other websites you guys and galz might suggest?

admin answers:

I have never used hostway.com, but I have used GoDaddy. It has a good interface for end users, and while I’ve stuck with them for most of my domain and hosting needs, I’ve actually began using domainsatcost.ca for the same reason [regarding privacy costs being included]. Their admin isn’t as slick, but it is cheaper and definitely gets the job done.

I’m not recommending domainsatcost.ca, but using them as an example that you should just go with whoever you want as long as they are reputable and have been around a while. If you have no specific preference or reason to use GoDaddy, go with hostway and save some coin!

Domain Whois Record – Your Questions…

Charles asks…

Having a bit of trouble with my website and domain hosts…?

I registered for both under a company called Just Hosting in 2006. Since then, they were bought out by High Flux Hosting, who’re my current hosts

However, I wanted to change some details on my domain, and it turns out they weren’t High Flux, so I did a Whois lookup, and my domain host is apparently Tersum (I’ve never heard of them)

My High Flux Hosting details didn’t work on their site, so I made an account on their support site, and asked them what my login details are – they said my email address wasn’t on record – since then my account on the support site has been deleted, and I can’t re-register (site says Not Allowed) and there are no contact details for Tersum on their site – I don’t know how to access my domain account, can anybody help?

Also, I tried asking High Flux Hosting who my domain host is, but my ticket was closed without reply, annoyingly

Can anybody give me any advice on how to access my domain? After all this I want to switch both to one reliable host.

Thanks!
Oh, my domain is a yearly thing, it expires in December… bit of a wait
Thank you for answering – the only control panel I can access is the HFH one for my webspace – but I can’t do anything about my domain from it, as it’s under a seperate company – I’m trying to unlock the domain so I can move to an English host

And I’d ring them, but I’m English and they’re American – I can’t really afford the phone bills :p

admin answers:

You should phone your host or make more tickets untill you get your answer! (Phoning is the best option.)
You should also be able to control your domain via the control panel of your hosting service.
