Hostgator and Bluehost are our best webhosts and godaddy.com is the best domain registrar.

For my future Chinese Bonsai website I am considering several options for hosting and domain names. Until now I have a US and an Amsterdam hosting (English version in the US and the Dutch, French and German in Amsterdam).

As the Chinese version will be non-political I think I prefer to host it in mainland China. Does anyone here knows a good webhosting that is not too cheap? I need 100Mb and some GB’s (I guess under 5GB should be ok) of bandwidth.

Furthermore, I am not sure what domain name to choose. I have 4 options:

1. the name in pinyin (normal text) .com
2. the name in pinyin .cn
3. the name in Chinese characters .com
3. the name in Chinese characters .cn

If I choose to take a .com, would it matter to have this domain name registered in the US? This is cheaper than in China I think; however, it is important to me that the website is seen by Baidu as 100% Chinese (does it matter where a domain name is registered?).
