Hi Guys
I'm new in buying domains but most importantly I'm new on online shoping. So maybe some of you understand why I am afraid of buying a domain name and a webhost because I don't quite understand some things.

If any of you could help me with the following quesions

No 1 - How is the Payment Option in buying a domain name? Do they acept Visa?

No 2 - When Buying a host do you pay for the whole year or do they take the monthly fee each month ?(which apeals me more)

No 3 - If I buy a domain name does it automaticaly offer the email adress for eg: Josh89@domainname.com?

No 4 - In my country we use Euros and if i buy from an american host that uses the USD does it has some trouble with the payment?

The Last question... No5 - Why do they ask adress and Phone No isn't that dangerous?

I hope that someone can help me because I'm ansious about buying my own domain but since I'm new in this subject it scares me.

First of all, I understand your hesitation. I remember when I first started privacy and giving out personal info was an issue with me too, and while there are always risks, your info is pretty safe when you use reputable companies. Just always make sure there is a padlock in the lower right of your browser before you give out your credit card info and personal info, etc.

So to answer your questions....

1. Yes you can use your Visa with almost all registrars
2. Most hosts will give you the option of either paying by month or by year
3. Your web hosting company provides the email addresses. So you will setup yourname@yourdomain.com after you buy a hosting plan
4. As long as you use a major credit card the currency is converted accordingly
5. Almost every company asks for your phone number when you order just in case they need to contact you about your account. I've never had any issues giving out my number

5 Assumptions You Shouldn't Make

While you can pay monthly, often there is a discount for signing up and paying for a longer time. You can make your decision when you see the terms.

On the email, what you will get is the @domainname.com part set up, which is really just your domain name. You will be able to choose any name(s) you want for email addresses. It could be Josh89 or Josh or anything you want. No one will have anything taken because you are starting from the beginning on your domain. There will be a control panel where you can go in and set up things like that whenever you want to.

With my host I can have unlimited email addresses. I can also have unlimited domains. That is something you will want to look for (you may not want many but you may want more than one).

And Josh, just relax. All this stuff you are looking at is new and strange to you, but it is really simple and I doubt seriously you will have any trouble.

I'm glad that someone can understand the fear of buying a first domain, but I'm also glad that I got that sorted out. Thanks Lisa and James, you both are really helping me out
