Is it acceptable to have the registrant of your domain name also host your website or should the website be hosted separately by another company? Any thoughts? Pros and cons?

I would have your domain registrar and hosting company separated. There have been countless cases of hosting companies not "giving you" your domain if/when you switch to a different hosting company.
Register your domain yourself so that you have complete control over it.

Hope this isn't too late...
I would disagree with reply from -Bryan- (sorry)... I have
always been happy with my registrar who also hosts several
websites I have built over the years. Lycos & Spatula Group
top notch...

I've commented on this several times in this forum & the programming one, and I'm with Bryan every time...NEVER, EVER, EVER combine your host with your registrar. Here's the short version: As your needs change, you will want to change hosts occasionally...Do you really want your domain name to be controlled by somebody with whom you probably won't be doing business long term?
