:: Domains
When it comes to buying domains, we know there are several places you can use. We have narrowed down the search for you AND we have prioritized them. If you want to use the tools we use and what other top Internet Marketers in the world use, then we recommend:
:: 1and1
We highly recommend 1and1, one of the largest domain companies in the world, to purchase your domains for four reasons:
- They are cheaper
- They will automatically renew your domains
- They have an easy to use interface for email and to DNS your domains to your hosting account, and
- They have great customer service.
Special Note: Register all of your domains as private to protect your buiness.
For 1and1
:: GoDaddy
GoDaddy is also a large company and one most people are familiar with only because of their international advertising campaigns and SuperBowl advertisements. They are a good company if you are starting out, however once you start building your business and need to manage your domains, we still recommend 1and1.

:: Web Hosting
When it comes to web hosting, again there are many companies to choose from and you want to be very careful in your selection. Here are some items to note when looking for a hosting company:
-
Technical Support - first and foremost you want excellent 24/7 customer service and technical support. Give the company a trial run by calling in the middle of the night or during peak time to see if you can get through and get a question answered.
-
Disc Space & Bandwidth - when it comes to Internet marketing, we can use a lot of disc space and bandwidth for our graphics, audios, videos, downloads, and shopping carts. Especially because we as Internet marketers have several sites going at one time. Make sure you get enough disc space and bandwidth for your business.
-
Uptime - it won’t do you any good to have a hosting company that is down all the time - meaning so will your website be down. There will be down time on rare occasions and this is for system mainenance. What you want to do is insure you minimize this by selecting a good company that has a solid track record. The industry standard is 99% uptime, however most hosting companies will offer more. Look for 99.9% when considering the uptime.
Wealth Alliance Recommends The Following Companies, for all the reasons above and specifically for Internet Marketing:
