.CO domains are the newest up-and-coming top level domain registrar. It has been a long time since there has been a quality recognizable top level domain extension release. CO is a multi purpose registrar that stand for “company”, “corporation”, “commerce”, “communication” and much more, making .CO domains the most versatile global top level domain, maybe ever

The current downfall of .co domains is that they aren’t always exactly cheap. The .CO domain registrar is rolling out the extension in various phases to allow trademark owners and others priority access to their domains.

What does this mean for you? Well, if you want a cheap .co domain, it may not happen just yet. Right now it will cost anywhere from $280-$300 USD to register a .co domain.

Don’t fret though, after July 2010, the price of .co domains will become much lower in price when they drop to about $30/year, or maybe even cheaper once they are available on a first come, first serve basis.

For now, anyone wishing to pay a little extra and get first dibbs on a .co domain can do so by ordering in the pre-registration phase for about $300 at Godaddy

When getting dedicated web hosting, it is important to find a dedicated web hosting provider that has a good reputation for providing a great dedicated web hosting service. The last thing you want to do is get set up with some two-bit provider that isn’t reliable and can’t support your needs. That would defeat the purpose of getting dedicated hosting in the first place.

HostGator is one of the best names out there when it comes to web hosting. Though they are mostly known for their shared web hosting and reseller web hosting packages, they also have excellent dedicated hosting packages.

HostGator offers a wide range of dedicated hosting packages at very reasonable rates. Every dedicated hosting package at HostGator gets you at least 5 dedicated IPs, at least 1500gb of bandwidth and you have the choice between Windows or linux hosting. Of course, you canalways upgrade these options at extra cost if you need more.

Though you have lots of options to choose from, HostGator guarantees you some of the best security, reliability and customer support in the industry. Going with HostGator for your dedicated web hosting means peace of mind knowing that you can expect only the web service and support, and you wont be settling for any fly-by-night`hosting providers that you simply cant trust.

Perhaps the biggest trailblazer on this front has been HostPapa. HostPapa is a Canadian web hosting provider with data centres based in Niagara Falls and Oakville Ontario. They have built a reputation for being a reliable, low cost web hosting company with some of the best web hosting features and friendly, helpful customer service.

HostPapa’s simple, easy to use hosting service is offered at one of the best prices in the industry, which is why I nominate HostPapa as the best cheap Canadian web host.

So should you always purchase your domain names from the same company that you buy your web hosting from? Many people do, simply out of convenience –  but that does not necessarily mean you are getting the best deal. Additionally, they may not be equipped with some of the advanced tools that currently exist for managing domains.

So what is the best place to register domain names online? GoDaddy has some of the best domain management tools in the industry. They also offer competitive prices and frequent promotions. Though they may not be the best web host out there, they are arguably the best place to register a domain name.

The nice thing about having your domains registered under a separate account at Godaddy is that it makes it easy to manage your domains. Moving hosts in the future will be a breeze, and of course their domain management control panel makes this all quite easy.

If you are looking to register a domain name, or especially multiple domain names, definitely check out GoDaddy.

Hostgator, Hostmonster and Bluehost all offer great shared web hosting packages for under $10. They have relatively the same services, but check out our web hosting reviews to compare specifics on their offerings.

Over the past year the one web host that has excelled and taken a lead in the shared web hosting industry is JustHost.

JustHost offers a fantastic unlimited shared web hosting package with unlimited storage, unlimited bandwidth, unlimited emails, and unlimited databases. The general consensus among the majority of JustHost users has been that their customer service is outstanding. And of course for under $5 a month, their hosting package is one of the best prices out there.

Reseller hosting is also a very good way to make profit in the web hosting industry. Whether it be by passing costs onto clients, or by setting up a hosting company to sell shared hosting packages to users, reseller packages offer a lot of flexibility and opportunity for online business.

While there are a number of web hosts out there that offer reseller hosting packages, the best reseller hosting that I (and many others) have seen is HostGator’s reseller hosting package.

Starting at around $25/month HostGator’s reseller package is one of the best on the market because it allows anyone, even people with very little knowledge of how reseller hosting works, to set up a reseller hosting account pretty much painlessly.

Hotgator’s reseller plan is also very versatile in that it allows resellers to have a very generous offering in terms of hosting services – unlimited in most cases. The only downfall of this being smaller storage and bandwidth caps on the lower end reseller plans.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper HostGator web hosting plan without their 24/7 customer support. Resllers can contact support with any issues and expect excellent response time and friendly staff, which is based out of Houston, Texas.

For a web host to offer best value hosting, it must offer their services both at a great price and be of a very high quality. This means they must offer outstanding customer support and a generous offering all at a low price.

On web hosting company that exceeds at best value hosting is JustHost. JustHost is a relatively new web hosting company that has put every effort into making their customers happy, while at the same time offering a fantastic hosting package for under $5.

While other web hosts may strive in top quality service, and others compete to offer the lowest price hosting, JustHost does the best job of doing both at the same time.

Quite often web hosts will sacrifice some of their offering, or possibly even the quality of their service just to be the web host with the lowest price tag.

I have tried many cheap web hosts over the years, and had many different experiences –  from bad customer service, to flaky reliability, and in one case it was just an outright scam.

The best value for my money that I have found for web hosting is at Hostmonster.com. Their Hosting costs around $6 per month and comes with almost everything unlimited.

I also have never had any issues with uptime, and the one time that Idid have to contact customer service, they were extremely fast and helpful.

Head over to Hostmonster.com if you are looking for a great cheap web host and I am sure you willbe as happy as I am.

Is has been common practice to the past to limit web hosting accounts to a certain storage capacity, but with storage becoming cheaper and cheaper, web hosting companies have no excuses for the prices they often charge for the amount of storage space you get.

Recently unlimited storage web hosting has become a more affordable option. With web hosts like Bluehost offering unlimited storage AND unlimited transfer at a price of about $6 per month, anyone can now have unlimited web hosting.

If you are looking at getting web hosting, definitely check out Bluehost, and you’ll never see “Account storage limit reached” again!
