Web Hosting Tips & Resources From NameHero
When you buy a domain, you’re often given the option to purchase an additional domain privacy service. For some, ID protection is worth the freedom from spam, while others choose to keep their information public for reputational purposes.

My brother and I were talking this week and he brought up a great question: do you register the domain name of your kids? This immediately made me think back to 1998 when I started working online. My first “dot com” was prowebresources.com and I paid $75 for it at Network Solutions. During this time, […]
I got started building NameHero as I needed a platform where I could manage all my domain names I had purchased as investments in one place.

If you’ve ever spent time on many of the popular web hosting forums, it’s likely you’ve seen this question before: Should you register domains with the same company you have your web hosting? Way back in the early days of the Internet, this was highly discouraged by many because of the fear was always if a company […]
Originally I founded NameHero as a domain registrar (actually DNSHero.com at that time) to give me a place to register and store all the domains I registered for investments. I don’t consider myself a professional “domainer” by any means, but since 1998, I’ve registered a good number domains for my piece of virtual real estate using […]
