Yep
Easy to cope, my site is personal and of a simple design. So it uses no memory or bandwidth to load it
They have a reasonable use policy, but I don't even go anywhere near it. Even though I'm a residential user, they've confirmed I can host my own website
(I have this in an email confirmation from them) ....somewhere.....I'm sure their reply is different by now, I'd rather not find out until they say so
I'll go into static IP eventually and business broadband, but for the moment I'm not bothering until they say otherwise, and if it does get stopped. I own the domain and have all the files locally, so I can instantly transfer them to my own host (fasthosts) and pay a small fee for the hosting anyway
Again, the reason I like doing it on my home PC is the flexiblity of being able to modify the content on the fly.Owner of andrewhope.co.uk, hate cars and love them

I use 34sp.com - apparently they have a sale on domain names although I don't know the T&Cs. Probably involves signing up for hosting although tbh the hosting is pretty cheap at a couple of quid a month.matched betting: £879.63

No hosting needed. you can just buy the domain on its own. No catch0

This is hosting with a top10 company and I can assure you of the quality of service as I have personally used their service.
This is a no strings attached offer. Just need to follow a few steps, please drop me an email, you won't be disappointed.
