    for domain names use https://www.oneandone.co.uk
    and for hosting use dataflame.co.uk
    I can highly recommend both :D
  • Oneandone aren't great when it comes to changing nameservers/transferring domains.
    They don't give you full control of domain settings and they charge for services such as transfers and support can take upto 3 days.
    If you're feeling down, you must be holding a duck.

    I got 3 free domain names from 1&1 a couple of months ago
    I dont know if the offer is still on
    A .co.uk name is cheap anyway, .eu or .com gets a bit more expensive

    You could get .co.uk for £1/year at webspace2me.org.uk Very cheap but do avoid them as there is literally no customer support at all. I wanted to change the DNS servers to my hosting company but I can't do it myself in the Control Panel.

    After one week (or was it two weeks?) I am still waiting for a response from their non-existent customer service!!

    You can see also computerbar's post here for details of a Microsoft free .com/.net/.org scheme. It's not for me, but might work for you?
