  • How do you go about choosing the best hosting site for your WordPress website ? Do you need to get the domain name and host from the same place ?

    Caveat: We do not allow people to recommend (or dis-reccomend) specific hosts, due to the spammy nature of such things.

    I asked my friends, but … well, I’ve had mine for a long time. Basically ask people directly. Many of us link to our hosts off our sites (and if someone leads you to a new host, tell the host the person’s URL ?? It’s always nice.)

    As for the domain name, no, you can get a domain name from anywhere, and host it anywhere.

    I wrote to them but got nothing back, I have no other contact details. Ive now sent an email to the host.
