But, the problem is that they dont provide ssh access..:( . So, its not worth for me..
sandeephegde says
Dear Abhijeet,
Could not get the meaning of your comment. SSH has to be provided by your hosting provider, there is no relation of ssh with domain name registration !

Use namecheap – they give you a free year of WhoisGuard domain protection with every new domain registration. Thats who I use and I have a portfolio as large as yours. It saves a lot of money, at least during the first year.
expiring domain says
WHOIS protection is also known as privacy protection or private domain registration. Privacy protection can be important in many cases because spammers can mine data from the WHOIS database to find your private or personal contact information. They use this information to send you SPAM or simply sell your email address and other information they collected to the highest bidders.

I want to register for a domain name and also host my website. There are several cheap options available that throw in free POP email etc etc, and then there are some well-known websites that are a tad costly and provide no extra features. So which one should I go with.
