To start out, Bluehost IS a solid, reputable and recommended webhost. However, we want to inform you about the issues concerning domain registration with hosts that offer free domains.

Bluehost offers web hosting for a competitive price for as low as $6.95 a month AND offers a FREE domain name with your pruchase. WE WARN you to beware of web hosts who offer free domains. BlueHost will regisiter a domain for you for free, but take a look at a recent WHOIS domain query for a domain that was registered by BlueHost for the customer.

If a web host offers free domain registration with your hosting purchase, BEWARE.. the webhost will register the domain in THEIR name, NOT YOURS!!

When you come to change web hosts you might have a problem gaining ownership of the domain and you may have a legal battle on your hands to obtain the domain that you thought was yours. Forget the hard work you put into the site...

If you do decide to go with BlueHost, which is a solid hosting company, we recommend you separate the domain purchase from the hosting purchase. Order yor domain through a third party domain registrar such as Godaddy. Not only will this protect your domain ownership, the domain renewal will be cheaper, especially if you use a Godaddy Coupon.

Therefore:

1. Order you domain at Godaddy using the coupon CJC695DOM to get your domain for $7.67.

2. Order your hosting at Bluehost for as low as $6.95 a month.

3. As an alternate, you may consider Hostgator, a top web host currently offering a $25 Hostgator Coupon
