    The best option for beginners is to purchase the hosting & domain and pay for the privacy settings to be included. But if you, like me, are an admin on Windows Server or any other server operating system, you don't need the product he sells at all. Cheers from 🇵🇹

    I've used Cloudflare for years for security but as a registrar it was a disaster for me because they don't let users change the DNS unless you in their business tier which charges $200 a MONTH! If you don't ever need to change name servers, it's fine, I guess. Support is ZERO though - LITERALLY

      For me...
      1. No email. They "include" email forwarding but it only works with select email services. eg, it won't work with gmail last I checked.
      2. You can change the name servers.
      3. zero support which is a disadvantage unless you're highly experienced with their system. @@babitasaha6655

    0:44 What did you mean in the Quick Note by "We are not purchasing the domain to have it forever, we are renting it on anual basis""? Not all hosting websites are renewable? Can we buy a domain to have it forever? Or can we buy the domain we have forever ?

    • @TheFigCo
      @TheFigCo  Рік тому

      It’s this way regardless of where you buy your domain. You could pay for multiple years at a time, but you are essentially renting the domain, you stop paying, you’ll lose the domain.

      @@rush9800internet traffic still gets send to the EU so other countries need to accept the fact that they need to follow the law. Though you are right if that traffic is not supposed to go to the EU then they might as well not follow it. Though point still stands that if the internet traffic goes from let's say India to Germany, India must follow EU's internet laws. Same thing if it is the opposite Germany to India. Lets also not forget that EU is a big influence in what content goes out in the internet. Thus why if some non-EU country wants to get that info then both parties must follow their laws.

If I already have a fully coded html/css website in a text editor like sublime text what do I do after I buy a domain name to make it so that anyone can just get to my website from their browser? I don't need to monetize the website or anything like that I just need people to be able to access. If there are different ways to do it though I would prefer the cheaper one?

    I guess I am a little bit confused. If I haven't purchased my domain, can I just purchase it straight from Wix? If I want to connect WIx to other registrar I would need a premium plan on Wix anyways. Also, I don't see anywhere the pricing you mentioned in this video. The cheapest option I see is $16/month after the first free year.

    'Best' is debatable. 'Best' for what factor - price, service, security, privacy, jurisdiction? You talked only about price and a little bit on services. I think a more accurate title would be 'best value domain name registrars'. But even there you don't go into much detail. Thanks for one introductory assessment though.

      If you want to continue to use the domain, you'll need to pay for it each year. If you only need it for 1 year, just pay for 1 year and don't renew it. After you purchase, make sure auto-renew is turned off so your card isn't automatically charged at the beginning of the 2nd year.
