Hi everyone

Need to buy a few domains and considering using 1&1.

I intend to host the website(s) somewhere else. Would they cause any probs?

Thanks

    Some companies do - depends who you go with. PM me if you want any help with buying domains and hosting elsewhere ;)

    most companies should let you change. I used lycos.co.uk for the domain names and used 3ix for the hosting. It came out at under £15 for the year.

    Won't cause any probs. You can use their control panel and setup a forwarding address to your website hosting or you can do it properly and change the DNS.

    If you read the rules, there's no "salesy" stuff allowed, and it's a bit rude to go off topic and start discussing business in the topic ;)
