I use Yahoo Small Business for my Domain, and host gator for my hosting.. I've never encountered a problem with either of them.



Yahoo usually has better tech support then GoDaddy, and Host Gator... Well i've never had a problem to where i've needed to contact them. That just shows the ease of use that comes with host gator i suppose :P

You can get a top level domain name like www.yourname.co.cc from http://yourfreedomain.co.cc



This can be used as a top level domain or you can use the to redirect it to your existing page like http://yourname.officelive.com



For using as a top level domain name you must host your site somewhere else. Here is a free host www.freehostia.com
