While most domain registrars like GoDaddy, Namecheap and Yahoo provides a hosting package together with your domain name purchase to make it easy for you, it can become a problem in future. Here are some pointers I would like to bring across on why you should never buy and host your domain at the same place.
I will not go into details about other domain name registrars as I’ve never used them and I only use GoDaddy and Namecheap. While they have cheap hosting if you buy from them, I chose to host my domain names elsewhere.
If you host your domain name at the same place or simply using their domain name servers, if they experience any downtime, your website will turn into a 404. This is a term used when your website cannot be found due to a HTTP Error 404. You’d most likely know them as “File Not Found”, “Not Found”, etc.
In short, don’t ever buy and host your domain at the same place. You do not want to risk losing your website and affecting your home business should the worst ever happen.
