Best place to register a website address?
Discussion
Hi all.
Since you people on here know everything, about everything, can someone tell me the best (easiest) place to register a website name please. We had lots of trouble with the last one (Namecheap), and I'm still not sure it's correctly registered after 2 yrs or so.
And what's the best website builder these days?
Thanks

Thank you very much for the replies.
Offer me a bit more advice if you will.
If I use a website builder such as Wix.com - how do I register the website? Do I need to register the web name, build the website in Wix,and then marry the 2 together? (and if so how?), or have I got the wrong end of the stick here.
Apologies if this is a very simple question, but as you can see, this is not my strong point.
Many Thanks everyone.

Please, please, please, don't use a website builder like Wix. It might look pretty but under the hood it's all kinds of mess. If you have any interest in working well with Google, other search engines and social media platforms you won't want to use Wix.
Get your domain and hosting from a company like Krystal Hosting.
From there you'll get a control panel from which you can install Wordpress in one click.
From there you can get a theme from the likes of ThemeForest - look for one with a page builder if you have to to make things simple.
If you go with Krystal, install the LiteSpeed plugin. It'll make your website pages load in < 1s and your customers and Google will love you.
Are Wix really that bad? Their website is lovely to use, and there's lot's of free pics and things. Wordpress looks a bit complicatedGet your domain and hosting from a company like Krystal Hosting.

OK everyone - update.
I've just bought the domain name and hosting from Krystal Hosting. To be fair they were very good,and happy to lead a novice through the buying game.
While I am waiting for the domain name to be registered, I've spent some time and money buying pictures from various websites.
I've also found a video on Youtube going through the how to use Word Press, in excruciating detail. so I reckon another 30 odd hours,and I'll have a 4 page website in Word Press.
Way Hey.
Anyone interested in having a look in a few days?
