  1. Sara cost is one of the factors but there are some other aspects such as customer service, account management tools, easy way to transfer domain to other host and what they do after domain expired. But if you are making site just for school project but if you want to continue this site in future then do keep these aspects in mind as it is necessary.

    One more thing I would like to share that if you will take the domain from hosting provider then you will be not getting any hassle in updating name servers.

    If you have any doubts feel free to ask
