How to Make the Best Use of Web Hosting With Free Domain Name

The answer is a big YES. When you sign up for a web hosting account with a free domain name, what it implies is that you will not have to pay for the domain name registration and yearly renewal as long as you are subscribed to that particular web hosting company. Web hosting with free domain names came into being because of competition and improvement of customer hosting services delivery. Many web hosting companies offer free domain name with their hosting accounts to entice customers to their services and to keep old customers to themselves. This is a good development in the web hosting world because for each free domain name you are given, you are automatically saving an average of yearly which you would have paid for renewing such domain name if you were to be paying for it.

Picking and Registering Relevant Domain Name for Your Business

It will not be appropriate to register talkingandwriting.com as your domain name when your business is based on fashion and fashion trends. You have to register a domain that best relates to your business for example: fashiontrend.com is suitable for the fashion business. It is also necessary you try to always choose a dot com extension if it is available because it is not just the commonest and most typo generic but also business related. You can also use dot net or doc org but consider dot com first if your domain is going to be used for business purposes.

What You Should Know About Free Domain Names

The domain name that was registered for you free by any web hosting company is still completely yours and there is no need for you to entertain any fear regarding your absolute right to the domain name. Some had argued that it sometimes proves not too smooth to transfer such free domain names to another web hosting company when one decides to change his or her hosting company. This is far from being truthful because all you need to do is just transfer your domain name to your favorite domain registrar such as NameCheap or Godaddy after signing up for your web hosting account. You have complete and absolute control over the domain name even though it was registered for you free with a web hosting account.

Even when you want to walk away from the web hosting company that freely registered the domain name for you, you can still go with your free domain name. The first step you will take when you want your domain name transferred to another is to send a support ticket to your web hosting company intimating them of your decision to move your account both hosting and domain name to another company. They should be able to promptly have your domain name transferred for you. You will then follow it up by changing your domain name servers to point back to your servers.

Once the transfer is effected, modify the primary DNS and secondary DNS and you will have your site successfully migrated. In many cases the new domain company will help you to transfer all you files to the new domain account. When all these are successfully done your site should be up and smoothly running again in less than 48 hours.
