Is it better to get a domain and web hosting from the same provider?

I am a real novice here. Was going to spend about $10 on a domain. Require a unique domain and email. Which suppliers would be the best and most affordable? Some carriers charge roughly $100 for three years, and I am quite okay with that.

I would be very grateful for any guidance.

No. It is like placing both eggs in one basket. Get your domain from someone who specializes in selling domains. Someone like Dynadot.

Keep your domains with a separate provider. (Godaddy is fine to begin, but I think I will get downvoted for this.)

That way, you can effortlessly switch hosting providers without having to constantly relocate your domain.

Don’t ever host with your domain registrar. Major security risk!
