I've a client who has had the same domain registered with an ISP for over 7 years. They want to transfer to another ISP.
I'm going to use Adobe's Cloud Hosting to host their site.
Can I then just pay for the domain registration without a hosting fee, taking the associated email addresses with it?

register the domain somewhere else like hover.com. having your domain tied to hosting gets shitty when you want to change hosts or the client wants to leave.

I was thinking of going for a reseller package, but if Adobe's Cloud comes with hosting for 5 sites I may as well use that instead ehh?
The only thing that seems to be getting in the way is multiple email accounts, I get 1 with each domain name, if I want another email address after that I have to go for the hosting. I need a info@ accounts@ and several named emails too.

Would it be best to go with the following basic package in the link below for £25 then just use Adobe for the hosting?

Does anyone here use Adobe cloud hosting?
http://www.adobe.com/products/bu…If you're tied to adobe dev environment, and you're a designer who dislikes coding, it may be ok, but the bandwidth pricing may get you... and it doesn't allow PHP or ASP or similar, so if your client suddenly demands wordpress, you may have to switch,etc..
I would find this far too restrictive, but for a print designer, doing a website where they carefully control client expectations, if may be okay....
otherwise....
1. I always try to separate Domain registration from web hosting, so you can switch web hosts without a hassle2. there are a million web hosts, webfaction is my current cheap favorite, as you can host unlimited domains... and it's developer friendly... there's a huge list of others...
- argh, i was wrong.. 1TB of bandwidth for the $10.95 acct isn't bad...

Maybe better getting a reseller package then and any domains I've registered I can point the DNS to Adobe's Cloud, that will then allow me to do Wordpress etc if it's demanded?
Was thinking of this one at £35 a month.

adobe says....
Email hosting and webmail
Set up and manage multiple email accounts from within the Admin Console. The email service supports both IMAP and POP3 protocols and a webmail interface for on-the-go access.BUT ASK YOUR CLIENT:
Do they have an archive of existing email and address book thats stored on server at their previous webhost? Or is it all on their local computer? BEWARE that moving an email archive can be hell.... find a freelance IT dept dude to do this if you have to, Microsoft Outlook can waste huge amounts of time sometimes....

hmmm... why do you want to use Adobe Cloud?
Because youre using Adobe-only web features?

Adobe has hosting?
for like, websites and shit?woah!

I'm thinking if I move the hosting to Adobe, I will have to then use their email hosting, is that correct?
- vaxorcist0
if you have full control over the domain registration, you can use gmail for businesses, where the users get "regular" gmail accounts, but have the domain pointed to them.... , not .... but its gmail all the same... there is a charge $ for it, but not too much considering the possible hassle avoided(!)
- and you can still host the website wherever you want, including adobe...vaxorcist

wait, that smallbusiness.chron url isnt that useful...
try:
http://support.google.com/a/bin/…as you will learn more about MX records, CNAME,etc...
Sorry to drop you into the land of IT department hell, but as soon as client expects you to handle email, it can be sometimes considered an INFINITE obligation on your part to make everything "just work"

How much are you paying for a piece of the cloud?
- it's £48 a month, which comes with 5 hosting packages included. All tax deductable too which is goodmirrorball

Not sure if this one would work but... how about I just go all in with the Adobe Cloud. I'd only need to register the domain name yearly for buttons £10 per year, I could then ask the client to pay me for the yearly hosting of their website as I get 5 websites hosted with the Cloud package. 5 clients paying £10 a month would then pay off the £48 per month fee from Adobe yeah?
