    Hi,

    There are hundreds of ISP's and registrars who do great deals.

    I have stuck with UKReg dot Com. They (like many others) have a great search feature, and you can get domain privacy enables as well.

    You simply tick the box for "opting out" your details from the whois register

    If you have already registered them, just drop them an email and ask to be omitted from the register (unless you're a business then you can't)

    thanks for this. i have checked and you can only do this with a .co.uk. unfortunately they want money for .com.
