Hello

Complete novices.

My husband wants to create his own website. Can anyone recommend where to go to pay for a domain which is legit and how to start?

Apologies if this is the wrong forum.

    easily.co.uk, names.co.uk, 1and1.co.uk, godaddy.com, 50webs.com.. And lots more..

    After buying the domain you need somewhere to put your website. Most of the companies will offer web space and site building tools.

    Basically you put your website on their computer that is attached to the internet 24/7. Although some downtime is to be expected. Power outages, Hardware failures etc.

    Looks like he needs to do some more background research to become familiar with what is involved.

    Having said that for reliable a domain purchase I would recommend who I have used for years 123reg.co.uk

    I'd use 123reg for the domain registration but not the hosting - dont want all my eggs in one basket to start with but there are other reasons too
