I want to buy a domain name and set up a website to possibly, in the future, do a bit of selling. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good company to get one from? I just googled "domain name" and came up with THOUSANDS!! Very grateful for any advice, From Mrs B aka technophobe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 We use 1and1Internet: http://www.1and1.co.uk It was recommended to me by a large global organisation and we have been very pleased with the service. It was the cheapest we could find but provides an excellent service. Easy to set up the website with guidelines and their help. If you want further help Mrs B, my DH has set up several sites with them and would be willing to help you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I agree, 1and1 have been good. Cost about £30 for the domain name and some webspace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slim Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Register the name with a holder then you can use any server you want! I use http://www.ukreg.com/ for domains very cheap I own about 40 domains and have used this site for years. 1and1 for hosting all the way they are very good! That is who i use to run all my sites including chicken-cam.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 I'm another 1and1 fan. I have a business hosting package with them and I seem to end up parking more and more sites for people on it! The domains cost about £6 for 2 years for a .co.uk and same for 1 year for a .com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
