Why You Should Avoid Untrusted Domain Name Registrar? by imrannazish(m): 6:21am On May 12, 2017
In earlier 2014, I started my blogging journey and had picked a local company to buy a domain name and web hosting.

However, the price was low and quite affordable that is why I chose that company, but after few days I started facing server issues, and finally, I end up losing my domain.

Yes, I lost my first ever bought domain name & then started thinking for another one. You may know that it take hours or even days to come up a great domain.

So, Here is what I did wrong and you should Avoid.

1. Company History
What I learned from this experience is that you should research about the company before making a purchase and this is what I skipped. It is suggested to check online if the domain provider has good reviews or if they have good users base.

2. Cheap Isn't Mean You Get Quality Service
Well, the price was too low, and you'll say I am kidding when I say I paid around $18 for the whole year to buy domain and web hosting smiley
How can a company provide quality service at the cost of just $18? I know there are few companies who offer service within this range.

3. Support Service
The customer support is an essential and most crucial factor to look for before choosing any registrar. You should verify if they offer support via phone, chat, or email. In my case, all I can do is just send them an email and reply after hours. In immediate support, you can contact the company to get help within minutes.

4. Company History
Are they in business for years or a new business? Usually, a good company who really wants to build massive customer base try to deliver vital service. But it doesn't happen in all cases. Sometimes, they just want to make money without providing good service. So, double check if they are in business for a while then go for that company.

5. Final Thing
Now after reviewing all the stuff, it's time to purchase your website name and hosting. Pick the company, enter desired domain and pay the fees. It's time to start your site; you can choose WordPress which is one of the best content management systems to build a site under 5 minutes.

Wrapping it Up
I hope this four minutes guide will help you pick the right domain registering company and save you money as well as the website name.
