Domain name+webhosting+internet access. Do they need to be with the same provider?

Granted you can see the hosting source with masking but if you use frames you don't see the actual address of the page wherever the page is hosted.
Check some of the links on my dad's web page:

http://www.simplyscenery.com/

This is currently hosted with https://www.jamroll.co.uk who offer a pretty good free service.

So you could easily use the frewebspace/masking option woth frames to get a seamless (ish) result.

If I were going to pay I like Intel's point about one bill for the lot.

Intel - what are some of your sites?

Problem with masking/frames is they don't display the url of the actual page being viewed, only the top frame, which in the case of masking is just your domain name. So when users visit other pages, those individual pages do not display and it is more difficult for them to bookmark the actual page of interest. Also frames are not fully accessible. So I don't wish to use them.

One advantage of MacHosting over 34sp is that for £20 you can host up to 5 domains, which might be of interest to me as I have three I'd like to host. Don't know what the service is like though. Any comments?

That's what happened when I used to use my 123-reg domain with my free ISP space, but now I use MacHosting, I changed the nameservers in 123-reg and it's all hooked together now.

Ah OK, thanks. I hadn't appreciated that there was a way round that.
