Based on my experience where you host a website matters more than what domain extension you choose. Having your site hosted on a USA-based IP address will usually help you in getting a better ranking...

Resold domains are only worth as much as someone is willing to pay, and if the current owner knows that there is a demand for it he is likely to place a high price on it. He's also more likely to not...

There's probably companies that offer that, but be aware that they would have ZERO accountability to you.
If you are not paying for your hosting and domain name they both could disappear at...

Definitely a wise move on your part, dotCOM is still "king" when it comes to domain names. If you have already established a site with the .info make sure that you forward the .info to the .com, so...

Of those three I like the second one best: there is no mix of letters and numbers and it is made up of three real words. (less chance of typos when potential visitors are trying to find your site)

The shorter the better, as long as it is easy for your visitors to remember. I remember reading somewhere once that the ideal domain name would be a recognizable word of five letters (or less).

You could sign up using the same domain name, however your site would only be accessible on the second host via IP. (unless you are setting up round-robin dns)

I just sent you a PM with a couple of available .com suggestions.

Out of the ones that you mention, I like philippinekarate.com. I would probably also buy karatephilippines.com and re-direct one to the other.

Yes, it is possible, it is called a Content Delivery Network (or CDN). It is related (but different ) than mirroring or failover in as much as data is served from the active location that is closest...

It is highly possible in the future that another search engine will be more popular than Google. Before Google, Yahoo was the `biggest and best` search engine (but not anymore). It is similar to how...

You can host on either platform, there is always some risk with anything (especially on the internet). Linux is generally thought of to be the more stable platform. Always keep a backup of your data...

Definitely get them at separate places, for a number of reasons. Yes, sometimes hosting providers that have offers for free domain name with hosting, a lot of times they will register the ownership...

It isn't that they are trying to "pull a fast one" on you. Marketing promos like this are commonly used to bring in new clients. When you first signed up their rates were based on their expenses at...

They all are good names. I always say the shorter domain name the better (less chance for typos from potential site visitors), so I would probably choose the first one.

There are many shared hosting providers that would be a great choice for you, many under $10 per month. (remember though: the cheapest host is rarely the best host for any project) I recommend...

It depends on your specific needs. (for instance if your site uses .asp pages it would need Windows-based hosting)
Linux is generally thought of to be more stable, and it is usually less expensive...

I would add the extra word, especially if it is an ecommerce site. Mis-spelling the product that you are trying to market would probably hurt your perceived credibility with most sales prospects.

No problem at all to move a site to a different company if you own the code. You can do the migration seamlessly, and many times your new provider will do the migration for you if you ask.

Absolutely purchase the domain name first. If you wait until after you have developed a site someone else may purchase it in the meantime.

As long as your hosting company confirms that you will be listed as the domain registrant and will be able to freely administer the domain you should be fine. It's a good idea to ask them to confirm...

Most of the larger and well established webhosts will do network backups of their servers, but it's still a good idea to also do your own backups to your own computer and/or a different host, just in...

I always recommend against using numbers in a domain name, unless it is for an aleady established brand. There's a good chance your potential site visitors will mis-type your url and enter "too"...

If the US company is looking after the management/tech side of things for you the only real support you'll probably need from the Korean company is if you have a billing dispute, and if you have a...

Unless your site is specifically targeted to the UK population I recommend you chose the .net, it's recognizable by most people world-wide and you can get one for around $12.
