About domain registration and web hosting?
I have heard more than once now that it is good practice for online buisnesses to keep their domain registration and web host companies separate? Can somebody explain to me why this would be if it’s so?

Think of domain names and webhosting as an analogy to cellphone numbers and the wireless phone service providers.
The reason why you register your domain with one company and webhosting with another is so that the webhoster cannot take over your website. Supposed you get into an argument with your webhoster…it is easy to sign up for new webhosting service somewhere else and have the your domain registration company to point the domain to the new webhoster’s servers.
Suppose you mistakenly used the same company for registering AND hosting a domain and you do get into a dispute with them over bad service…they might take forever and give you a hard time if you try to transfer out the domain to another webhoster for service elsewhere.
I hope this helps and good luck!
So that you don’t lose it all. You only have to look at registeflies.com to see current problems.
Your domain is the most important thing and you must keep control of it. if you have control of your domain name you can move from host to better host very easily.
I don’t see any logical reason for that. Who told you that?
