1&1 is the best IMO, I have done many a WHOIS search on scam sites, and most of them have a domanin hosted by GoDaddy. It’s your choice in the end, though.
If they’re a major company like GoDaddy or 1&1, just go with them based on prices. I have a GoDaddy domain, something like $10 a year, and it works fine, no problems.
Dear friend, if you want to start a website I suggest you to purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.
And any bad web hosting service would trouble you for a long period. At first, try to choose a reliable service to get rid of the subsequent problems.
As an experienced webmaster I recommend BlueHost service which I’m sure it would work for you and fulfill all your requirements. They have a really great offer for hosting & I have used them for over 3 yrs now, and have never had a single problem with them.
