This is the most common question asked by a new webmaster who is entering in the field of internet world and want to start his website. It is now easy to build the frontend/backend of a web because lot of readymade scripts are available in the market. And many are free out of them. For e.g. currently wordpress and Joomla are two of the most popular content management systems.

So after considering the script, the next question comes is about domain registrar and web hosting. There are lots of domain registrar, but also go with an ICANN accredited registrar if you care about your domain. Don’t go with 1 or 2$ per year domain names, instead go with reliable domain registrars which charge from 6-10$ per year. And I think this charge is nothing for a whole year of domain hosting. I would recommend you to go with NameCheap or Godaddy for your domain registration.

Then comes the web hosting. The market is saturated with lots of hosting providers but till today it is difficult to find the best/reliable web hosting company. You will find lot of bad reviews even for the top 10 web hosting providers. Anyway, the selection of hosting is dependent on your requirement.

There are various plans or types of web hosting, but the most common is Shared web hosting. Such hosting comes with most of the features, unlimited databases, addon domains, bandwidth etc. Be sure that your hosting have cpanel, coz it will help you do install scripts like wordpress/joomla in few clicks. But if your site is built with MS frontpage and requires frequent editing, then you should go with Frontpage web hosting to synchronize your MS frontpage with your host for easy updating your site.
I would recommend Hostgator hosting. If you have any further doubt, please post your comment.
