Jamroom Hosting - looking for a few beta testers
Jamroom Hosting
paul:Strum - It does look like Arvixe do do regular domain registration so hopefully they would still be happy for you to pay them $9.95pa for your free hosting domain, even when you cancel their hosting.
I would recommend not doing this - there's no need for Arvixe to be "in control" of your domain - an actual domain registrar should be where you keep your domain. I've used Namecheap for A LONG time and can highly recommend them:
https://www.namecheap.com/
I'd avoid Godaddy unless you are already registered there (they make the bulk of their money off tricking users into signing up for things they don't need).
I think it is really important that you keep your domain registrar and your hosting
separated - it gives you more control.
Is Arvixe the actual domain registrar (in other words you BOUGHT the domain through them or explicitly TRANSFERRED the domain to them) or did you just update your Nameservers at your existing domain registar (i.e. Godaddy, Namecheap, etc.) to point to Arvixe's Nameservers?
