***Plus Newsltter Option

***10/15GB monthly Traffic

You can get cheap ".co.uk" domain names from here http://www.123-reg.co.uk/

A FREE forum can be obtained from here http://www.phpbb.com/ if your web host has PHP installed. If your web host uses cPanel http://www.cpanel.net/ as an Admin Control Panel for your account this forum and many other features/software add ons come as standard at no extra cost. Don't pay extra for these!

Others on this site may be able to recommend a good web host but make sure their after sales support is of a high standard and accessible 24 hours.

For a budget host I would recommend https://www.dataflame.co.uk and would second the recommendation of 123-reg.co.uk for domain registration.

I have had a couple of hickups with dataflame (most of my own creation) and they have all been sorted very quickly.

That's great! Could you tell me if you have any experince hosting with 1and1? they have got Business hosting £8.45 p/month with loads of features (lol- i think!) - is it a good deal?

Please advise
