Should You Buy a Domain at the Same Time as Hosting or Keep Them Separate?
I see this question alot and my advice is to keep them separate. If something happens with your hosting…you will be able to quickly change a couple of settings and point your domain to hosting elsewhere. If you buy it with the hosting it can turn into a big nightmare that can easily avoid if you happen to lose access to your account.
Shared Cloud Hosting vs Regular Shared Hosting?
More and more webhosts are offering ‘cloud’ hosting which usually better optimized with some additional features vs traditional hosting. One example is HostGator offers optimized WordPress shared cloud hosting, which for hosting one WordPress site makes alot of sense because it has built in features that make your site run faster.
