Web Hosting and domain

During the internet marketing course, we were told that some web mastering knowledge is required. As such, I have just brought a domain from GoDaddy and intend to host it at HostGator.

GoDaddy advertised their .com domain price as US$9.99, but the price actually came up to US$30.00 after registration fee and private registration service. During the checking out process, I was bombarded with all kind of upgrades. They just want you to spend!
I think I'll not buy from them again!

The hosting fee at Hostgator seemed affordable at US$9.90 per month. If you make a one time payment for 2 years of hosting service, you will pay less. About US$7.90 per month. I am not sure if I'll use their service for 2 years and therefore I choose to pay on a monthly basis.

I know very little about web hosting and html, hence I think it is going to be a big challenge when I start using the cPanel.

Hope to share my experience in my future blogs.
