Once you have a domain – you will need to have hosting, or basically a full time computer where your website files can always be found.  While there are hundreds of companies to choose from, we would recommend only two.  For a single website, the best host would be Hostgator.

If you have several domains or want to resell hosting to clients – then I would recommend Liquid Web.  They have the best support of any hosting company out there.  In over 7 years – we have been down a total of 1.5 hrs – that works out to 99.999322% uptime – Translation – your website is always up and running!
