I'm basically new with this area.
I wanted to buy domain.
I try search the name: XXXX.co using GoDaddy.com and Exabytes.com.
there are two prices.
GoDaddy: is RM 44.99/year and with domain private. RM71.98
ExaBytes: is RM150/year. I'm not sure if this have the whois protection or not.

My question. what's the difference between these two prices? Other than one is USA company and one is local.
I'll probably going to host my website on exabyte anyway but the domain is quite expensive.
I'm planning to buy Exabytes Xtudent personal hosting.

hopefully can get some help here.

thank you very much

Malaysian price just too much. But you must find out how much it is going to cost for renew on godaddy since price for registration and price for renew usually different. some other local registrar also provide cheap registration. try netkl.

Here is what my cart looks like from exabytes.
for domain, the plan has free ".net" domain

Do i have to get their addons such as
-SiteLock Website Scanning.
-Id Protection
Is it really important?

then after hosting, I should get the wordpress theme right?
I looked on themeforest.net found a few that I like. Cost around $43x3.7 = ~ RM160

so basically first year is 380
then recurring year is just the hosting right.
Am I doing this right? rclxub.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

Im also looking for an alternative for ready made website service like squarespace.com
Looks good, though my website probably going to look generic..

It shouldn't matter if your domain and hosting are not under the same company, since linking them both is really simple. Try to get the best deal out of both.

I haven't tried Exabytes, but RM99 /year for only 5 GB/month doesn't sound like a worthy deal. Sure, it gives you a free domain, but .co is not in the list.

For Malaysian company, DataKL gives you 35 GB/month for RM90.

If you don't mind using international hosting, you can get even better deals. For only RM9, I bought myself 3 months hosting from HostMantis (with 60% off coupon). I also bought .com domain from godaddy for only RM4 (with coupon). Right now there's also a coupon for RM14 .com + whois protection from godaddy.

Just google for "godaddy coupons", or any domain name registrar/hosting provider.

search engine visible ? not sure what is that but definitely is crap, cause SEO is about onpage and off page, so what godaddy going to do with it ? add ur domain in their directory ????


assume u going to use wordpress, just allow bot access when first setup, pretty url, submit google webmaster ......

remember google SEO is all about CONTENT is " King" Link Is Queen smile.gif

Those kind of stuff never bother me. Right now, just focus on your blog design and content.
