Personally, there are plenty of free hosting providers out there that
don't require you to register a domain through them. Just asking for
trouble later on if you want to move to another provider. So, I would
go with a cheap domain registrar like GoDaddy and make sure you find an
online promo code to save ten percent if you do use them.
