A domain name – that was what I required for my future site. I had it all planned out in my head. I had a web design and web content idea, I knew that I required a Linux web hosting solution and that I needed to register a domain name.
My main quandary was what domain name to pick for my site. It had to be memorable, catchy, and, well, free to register! I examined quite a few till I came across one that was available for registration, but then I noticed the exorbitant price, since I had settled on a .co.uk domain. These country-code top-level domain names are clearly more expensive than the popular .com, .net, .org, etc. domains. With my constricted budget, I simply relinquished that idea and began considering discovering another website hosting supplier. I disclosed my idea to virtually everyone I knew who got an idea about websites and the web in general, so a comrade of mine showed me the website NTC Hosting and exclaimed: “Voilà! Inexpensive web hosting plans! And a free domain!”
Needless to mention, in the beginning I thought that he was kidding, but he wasn’t. These guys from NTC Hosting provide budget website hosting packages – on shared servers, which does not seem to be a concern when it comes to small and mid-size web sites. Moreover, they are based in the United Kingdom, and have hosting servers in the UK. Well, not only – but also in America, Scandinavia and Australia, but what I needed was a UK-based solution anyway. The biggest bonus, however, is that they offer a free domain if you register for one year rather than paying on a monthly basis! That does not apply to .co.uk domains, unfortunately, since they are registered for a period of 2 years by default, but .com, .net, .info, .eu and several other domain names are available free of cost, so how could I turn down this free offer?
With the free domain name and their low domain and website hosting package prices, these guys enticed me. I did sign up and even got a tool that could help me create my site – its name is Site Studio. A website building tool with – I did try calculating but lost count! – over 70 web design layouts suitable for both commercial and personal web sites. Well, isn’t that superb? And the bonuses continue! I am one fortunate lady! Well, enough jabber from me, I should continue with the creation of my web site masterpiece!
My advice to you is to register a domain name with NTC Hosting.
