Hello guys,
I've got to know that Marblehost.com specializes on delivering shared hosting. They have Data Centers in US and UK. By having the opportunity to choose at which data center your site will be hosted, clients from all parts of the world will enjoy the same great speed - ensuring fast page load without any delay. Besides, they offer domain name absolutely for free, if you buy any hosting plan.
The main thing I want to ask you is that if it is effective way to buy hosting plan and get free domain for life?
It seems to be suitable. But what do you, guys, think about this companies and their offers? Thanks in advance for your replies.

that is a correct question...

Anyway i do not think this is a good idea. You'd better go with accredited registrar, like EuroDNS.com and have cheap domain due to discounts, with no further problem possible.

Well, I'd like to point out that it is really effective way to get free domain name for life if you buy any hosting plan. Marblehost.com is really stable company and it specializes on shared hosting. I think that you should only trust only "specialization". Specializing in the specific field will give you more reliability. Moreover, there are free bonuses such as website builder and the PHP scripts installer.

You can also get free domain name if you deal with MMhosting.com. It guarantees 30-day money back and 99.9% network uptime. Cheap prices and fantastic hosting and support services are quite superb in comparison with other companies.

I have seen that Sibername.com being a big domain registrar provides hosting services as well - shared and reselling.
The price rate is not very high.
You may try them too as this company is ICANN, CIRA and EURID-accredited.

I would not do that. Sometimes there is a risk of getting "rented" domain name, which belongs to the company, not to you. It is better to reg a domain separately from hosting.

Actually I don't see that bad side of registering domain name with not ICAN-accredited company, but I'd like to point out that Marblehost.com is reliable company which will provide you with stable work and uninterrupted hosting services. I think you can trust to it.

Specializing ... hm ... I don't know if one can name delivering shared hosting that is specialization. Not sure.
I know that narrow specialization can be say providing VPS deals like microVPS.com does it or Magento e-commerce software that simplehelix.com supports on their servers.
But that thing ....
