Web hosting, domain reg and forum????

A friend of mine has asked me where to go for good "cheap" web hosting and domain registering also....where to go for a forum that they can integrate into the website (a bit like this forum)

I just thought Id put a shout out on here whilst I was doing a bit of research myself in case I miss anything.... any help would be greatly appreciated. :p

    I've used http://virtualnames.co.uk a few times.

    .co.uk, 2 yrs - £8.50 ex VAT, £9.99 incl VAT
    .com, 2 yrs - £18 ex VAT, £21.15 incl VAT

    Hosting - from £20 ex VAT, £23.59 incl VAT pa.

    For our recently launched community website <see sig> I used http://www.proboards.com which is free and easy to use. <you can pay & remove ads>
  • Oooooo thanks for that, I've also had a couple a PMs with some info in that I have found quite helpful. Thank you everyone :D

    I shall pass everything onto my mate, but please if anyone else can throw some info my way that will still be appreciated.

    Lots of options. I use dreamhost - https://www.dreamhost.com. Use the code 'discounted' which although a referral doesn't benefit anyone except you (takes the full referral amount of $96 off) and works best on the crazy insane domain name package ($119)

    Gives you 20gb space, 1TB transfer pcm and 'one click installs' that allow you to setup websites and forums without needing to know much about the web. enjoy!

    It's also worth looking at Quidco etc for cashback when you've decided who youare going to go with.
