    you can point a domain through 123-reg using the web forwarding feature chose the permanent option

    apart from them offering 20MB and 15 pages, what other features do you get.

    ftp, email, cgi etc.

    Thanks, so it seems the 123-reg link should work.

    See https://www.moonfruit.com/pricing I don't need any other features, just a basic website that looks better than the 123-reg ones.

    Taken from their own website:

    http://markandninahfm.co.uk/

    That site looks good. I don't mind the Moonfruit logo if it at the bottom.

    You should see the 123-reg sites. ;)

    We're only trying to set up a site offering some local language lessons, it's not trying to build a high-profile international brand. :o

    i know, but forwarding your domain is still not professional as a simple whois search etc will find you out.
    also you need an email address ( not a 99p job from 123-reg) and decent monthly bandwidth as with small bw your site could go suspended during a month and wont unsuspend until the following month.

    for a 1 page site you should be looking at i would


    1GB space
    2GB bandwidth/mpnth
    1 FTP
    5 Email
    cgi

    this gives enough to cover the whole month and room to add more if needed.

    you may not mind, but you have to think of anyone looking at your site. it needs to look professional and clean or users will just not looks at your site and may even give bad reviews.
