Before you go with any cheap hosting service provider you first see what people say about this company service and support. If you think it is satisfactory then go with them otherwise not that i will recommend you.

Most people will recommend that you purchase your domain name and hosting from separate sources. Setting up hosting should be pretty quick, but as the previous poster said - look into the hosting company's reputation first.

I agree,before going for registration to any hosting company,checkout the services ,price,offers etc
