Crafty theres a couple of things you could do.
one is turn your webs store into one with a custom domain. sure you would be able to use the domain you've bought with 1 and 1. but I think webs still charge you as using more than a basic service.
You could build a site with 1 and 1 but if you want a shopping cart you will need more than their basic service too so will get charged.
Or you could keep the webs domain but point the domain you have bought to it so that when people type in https://www.yourdomaindotcom they get immediately sent to your site but when they look in the web address bar at the top they would see https://www.yourdomain.websdot com.
This option would be free and you could set up email for the domain for about 69p/ month with 1 and 1.
This is exactly what we did for my nephew's dog walking business.
But I'm not sure how it would work with seo and you still get the ads on the site cos its free.
If you type in www.lancaster-pet-heroes.com and then look at the url when you get to the site you'll see what I mean.
sure Dilli or munchki will know more than me.

Hales you're a superstar (even though mine are permanently red - but that's my fault not yours!) Hope things are improving for you xxx

Yukki, I would get a name for them first and then call it the xxx Sanctuary. First thing that comes to mind is to call them Sockits, so you could have the Sockit Sanctuary. Or you could have the Sockit Zoo.

MummyandPaige

lol, Em! Blimey you have been thinking hard!

Paula night night, good luck with sleeping, DDs always know when you are most tired and choose then to wake up!

Sounds awesome Yukki, can't wait to see, are they like the sock monkeys? Only read up on them just before xmas and thought they were so clever!

Good luck tomorrow Jo x

Joey- 4 cats is def not too many! I have 5 (did have 6 but Beans refused to move with us ) and 3 kittens, would love to do what you do, but don't think mine are tolerant enough, they can bearly stand each other! Do you want a kitten? You don't have to give it back! I have been told I am not allowed to keep anymore

ho hum found some shortbread in the cupboard, not quite chocolate, but its sweet so it will do!
