Go Daddy (registrar, hosting)

Website: www.GoDaddy.com
What is it? Go Daddy started out as a domain name registrar but has branched out into web hosting an many other web services.
Hosting Technology: Linux or Windows

Overview: Go Daddy is an inexpensive and comprehensive place to register your domain names. Their control panel allows you to control settings for one or all of your domain names. Domain name registration includes DNS control, basic email functions and several other freebies.

In addition to registering your domain name they offer a number of inexpensive web hosting services. You can choose a Windows or Linux plan.

The one problem with Go Daddy is that they always seem to be trying to sell you one more thing. Some of these things are actually an added value and others are simply unnecessary and it is hard to tell the difference. I recommend using them, just make sure you know what you are getting and why.
