Not to argue with the potential problems of shared hosting, it is not synonymous with the hosting company registering the domain name for you. You can register your own name and then point it at a shared host site. Alan At 06/02/2013 07:52 AM, Glenn McKnight wrote:

Hi All

Recently I setup the ISOC Canada WordPress site at a Shared Hosting website due to price but upon research and discussion with Joly and others I discovered that Shared hosting opens your site to potential hacking. Research revealed that the site is shared with 3,500 others. Here is some research on the risk http://www.epicwinhosting.com/blog/is-shared-hosting-secure/

*Question: Is it worth the difference?*

Secondly, Upon discussion with the hosting company they don't have a VPS service to upgrade the account.

Thirdly When I did a WHOIS on the name this was the first thing I found. No response yet from the hosting company, Ticketed the item with their support on this issue as well. Almost feel hostage.

Name FastDomain Inc. (R1455-LROR) StatusADDPERIOD, CLIENT TRANSFER PROHIBITED, TRANSFER PROHIBITED Fourth In conversation with Joly he recommeded a VPS site called GANDI for more secure hosting https://www.gandi.net/domain/buy/result/ Also I found gatorhosting.com as well
