I am thinking of starting a niche blog with another domain. Domain names don’t come cheap nowadays.
The hosting with Bluehost costs me RM630 for 2 years. I tried to register a new domain via Bluehost but find it very unfriendly. I was instructed to call their number in U.S. before I am allowed to buy a new domain. The domain costs USD10 with free ID Protection.
So I resorted to find a local company that does domain registration. Hostpro2u.com requires me to give the IP on top of the DNS. Honestly, shared hosting does not have a dedicated IP unless I pay Bluehost USD39.00 for it.
Next I found Exabytes. Their registration does not require IP but I have to pay extra for ID Protection. That is RM29.00 extra each year. The domain price is RM38 a year. If I renew after one year, it will cost me RM55. However, if I take 2 years, it will be RM38 each year.
Overall, Bluehost gives the best deal, don’t you think so? Maybe I should just call their number. But first thing first, I need to make some money to get that new domain.
Anyone can sponsor me a domain? I plan to start a blog on how to spend less and save more.
