[QUOTE="Bill Hartzer, post: 2357459, member: 322958026"] Absolutely, 100 percent you need to keep your domain name and web hosting separate, buy them from separate companies. The problem is a security issue. I have literally help recover an IT company's server, sites, and ALL of his client domains, many of which were transferred to other registrars. Someone hacked into the server, got access to the registrar account, and stole all his clients' domain names, many of which were live websites. The live sites of all his customers went down. This was at GoDaddy. The server was hosted at GoDaddy along with ALL of the domains on that server (over 50 domains and live sites). So I don't really recommend using a domain registrar where you have ONE login and then that allows you access to the web hosting and all the domains. Many people do it, but from a security perspective it's not ideal. [/QUOTE]
