so i have a client that wants a .com, but i don't know how to set it up , right now for the website im using a hosting service (not a server off my computer) and i know how to change from the subdomain to the .com but i dont know how to buy a domain and set that up..
and help?
Can Chris Coyier make this his next screen-cast? please? cause I'm sure there's more then just me out there..
So you already have a hosting account and you just need to purchase a domain for your client?
If so, you'd buy the domain and then point to the hosting service you already have set up. Every backend is different, so you'll have to refer to the help section of the registrar that you end up using.
I'm going to refrain to linking to them just because I have no affiliation and don't want to be seen as recommending any particular one, but in the past I've purchased domains from all of:
- GoDaddy - Media Temple - Network Solutions - Google - Hover
On a personal level, I recommend keeping all your domains together on ONE domain registrant, just to eliminate the headache of managing them all.
When you buy a domain, they give you an account with them. There is no charge for the account. Unless, you are wanting to resell domains and use a reseller account. I use GoDaddy, and I have been pretty pleased with them.
