Register.com is most well known for its domain name registration service. However, this company also provides provides all the essential tools a business needs to build and manage their online presence. Leveraging ten years of experience in the domain business with over two and a half million domain names under management, Register.com has built an expanding, broad selection of website design and management solutions, Register.com enables businesses and organizations to create a web presence without the need for extensive technical knowledge or resources.

Features

Register.com offers three different hosting plans to customers. The first, a basic plan, provides sixty-five Dreamweaver templates, is FTP supported, and can handle Microsoft FrontPage extensions, PHP, CGI and Perl.

The second offering supplies a shopping cart (EasyStoreMaker Professional) along with everything supplied in the basic plan. This plan also provides password-protected pages.

The final offering is the eCommerce site, a tool that offers all that the previous two solutions offer, but you can add Microsoft ASP, XML, coldFusion, and MsSQL database, streaming audio and video and SSL (Secure Server) management. None of the offerings include domain names.

Beyond these offerings, Register.com also provides a “Do It Myself” option that provides one email account and an extra option for an eCommerce package. Users also can work with Web development professionals to build a site with domain name, branded email and Web hosting along with a sideline for eCommerce.

If you’re really interested in online retail management, however, you might check out Register.com’s various “ProStore” solutions. Most of these options are geared price-wise to medium to large businesses.

Finally, users can take advantage of email hosting solutions, including the Hosted Microsoft Exchange. This service allows enterprise-class messaging, calendar, and file-sharing tools. This is the ultimate business webmail solution, where you can create email addresses that use your domain, plus add additional mailboxes at any time and gain access to your mail anytime from any computer or other email device.

Most Web hosting solutions will utilize Register.com’s WebSiteOS control panel.

Reliability & Reputation

Although Register.com provides a variety of services, the more advanced Web developer may feel stifled with the limits on opportunities provided here. This company’s Web hosting solutions are geared toward the business owner who seeks an easy solution for a complicated project such as eCommerce, SSL and constantly updated Web sites.

For this reason, perhaps, Register.com does not provide information about its servers, location or other information that would provide clues as to what the Web developer could expect from this company’s hosting solutions.

Pricing

Register.com is not a bargain-basement Web hosting service, and their “deals” for pre-payment are slim as they begin when you purchase three years or more in advance. But, this company’s services are geared more toward the online superstore rather than to personal sites.
