Anyone notice how annoying it is that you have to register your domain one place, and host it another? I know some companies do both, but to get the best price you have to get both a host, and a server business. Pain in the butt if you ask me.

You dont have to do that
But it doesnt annoy me, you simply just change the name servers

try godaddy for registering AND hosting
They are really cheap, like $2/month hosting. Its no the best though, so you get what you pay fpr.

Yes, GD hosting is not great.
As someone said though, changing name servers is easy.
I have my name servers in a text file ready for when i get a new domain

The only problem with godaddy is the slow service to do anything other than that it isn't that bad.

Perhaps Go Daddy would be useful for newbies and those who aren't really profiting yet in the business.

When the business gets better, then just change servers/hosts.
