7 reasons to keep your web hosting and domain name together
As a website owner, you’ll face a dizzying array of technical decisions. One of the most important choices is deciding where to register the domain and where to host the site. (Although we would definitely recommend using SpaceLama for all of your website-related needs).
Many entrepreneurs opt to separate these services and end up buying the domain from one provider and the hosting from another. This can seem like a cost-effective or convenient approach at first. However, in practice, using separate providers often leads to more hassle than value.
Simplify website configuration
Forget the back-and-forth of managing your domain and hosting separately. When you bundle them together, you get the ultimate control center – a centralized dashboard that puts you in the driver’s seat. There is no need to switch between different services, remember passwords, juggle technical settings, or deal with finger-pointing during issues. With everything in one place, you can handle DNS, SSL, E-mail (and more!) with just a few clicks. It’s the ultimate hack for streamlining your online operations.
SpaceLama’s modern control panel is the ultimate power tool for managing your online presence. Users can also access various website builders and manage domains and hosting centrally.
Need to make a change? Adding a subdomain, updating a DNS record, even doing a full site rebuild – it’s all right at your fingertips. No more headaches, just pure efficiency.
According to this scientific research paper from 2024, over 89% of popular sites use name servers under the same main domain, and over 75% use the same provider to host name servers.
Get faster support
Mixing registrars and hosts turns support into a game of hot potato. Your host says, “That’s your registrar’s problem,” and your registrar points right back at your host. The result? Slow fixes and zero accountability.
Remember that Server Fault thread where a site went dark because neither the registrar nor the host would own the issue? Days can go by while you chase emails and tickets. In the meantime, nothing gets done and your business bleeds money.
With SpaceLama, there’s no blame-shifting. Our all-in-one platform gives support full visibility into your domain and hosting setup. One ticket, one chat message, or one email gets you straight to a solution. That means faster fix times when every second counts, whether your site is down or you’re fighting a buggy update.
SpaceLama support offers realtime chat (with a human on the other side), support tickets, or E-mail. Fast. Clear. No surprises.
Strengthen the site’s security
Splitting your domain and hosting across multiple providers just widens the attack surface. If either one of the two accounts gets compromised, you could lose access to your website, E-mail, or even your domain.
With everything under one roof at SpaceLama, you cut down on risk. You get built-in 2FA (two-factor authentication), automatic backups, DNS attack protection, and more. All designed to work together. Plus, if our monitoring flags something suspicious, we can spring into action immediately without waiting on a third party. Faster response, fewer gaps, proper peace of mind.
Avoid delays and downtime
When your domain and hosting are with different providers, you’re juggling multiple renewal dates, billing systems, and reminder formats. Miss just one renewal, and your site could go dark or worse, you could lose your domain altogether.
With SpaceLama, everything is streamlined in one place. Activate auto-renewal for both your domains and hosting, or let charges come directly from your personal account balance. You’ll receive a single notification, a single invoice, and can handle every renewal in just a few clicks.
By consolidating domain and hosting management into one dashboard, you cut out unnecessary steps and minimize the risk of missed payments. That means more time to focus on your sites and less time scrambling to keep them online.
Reduce configuration errors
When your domain and hosting are managed by the same provider, critical settings like DNS and SSL are configured automatically or with minimal manual setup. This significantly reduces the chances of errors that can lead to site outages.
Separate services mean you’ll have to manually enter DNS records, verify IP addresses, and install SSL certificates. Just one misplaced character can take your site down.
A unified system not only eliminates these risks but also enhances your site’s overall stability and reliability. With everything managed in one place, you can rest easy knowing that your configurations are correct and up to date. This peace of mind allows you to focus on what really matters: growing your business and engaging with your audience.
Have a beginner-friendly setup
Launching your site for the first time? Navigating two different platforms can be a headache. You’ll need to figure out where to edit DNS, how to connect your domain to hosting, and how to set up E-mail, all in different interfaces with varying terminology and underlying tech.
When everything is integrated, getting started is a breeze. Many providers offer automatic domain binding to hosting, pre-configured templates, and step-by-step instructions. This saves you time, reduces stress, and lets you focus on creating great content instead of wrestling with technical setups.
Save money with bundled services
Many providers offer discounts or perks when you purchase your domain and hosting as a bundle. This could mean a free domain for the first year, a discount on your plan, advanced features, or even a complimentary SSL certificate.
When you buy services from different companies, you miss out on these bonuses and end up paying for everything separately, thus shelling out more in the long run. By choosing one provider, you simplify management and significantly lower both your initial and ongoing expenses.
By combining your domain, hosting services, and SSL certificates under one provider, you streamline management and reduce the risk of configuration errors.
SpaceLama’s integrated platform ensures that DNS settings, SSL installations, and domain connections are handled automatically, saving you time and minimizing downtime. With everything in one place, you can easily manage renewals and updates, ensuring your site remains secure and operational.
