    I get mine from ukreg.com. By the way is there something wrong with your shift key or your caps lock?

    I would recommend 1and1, they are reliable and their support turnaround is outstanding, I've needed to contact them twice and on both occasions they replied within minutes!

    I would also suggest you stay well clear of 123-reg and fasthosts (AKA ukreg), 123-reg have serious reliability issues and appalling support, and fasthosts are just incompetent, it recently emerged that they were storing their users details unencrypted, and then their database got stolen by a hacker, I think they might be affiliated with HMRC ;)

    As for the site itself, I am a part time web developer and know a few others, so if you give a more detailed description of your requirements I can probably sort you out or put you in touch with someone who can.

    Hi thanks for the advice i will have a look on the site to purchase one. With the extra details for the website i think it would be best if you ask the questions so you can get a better idea of what i am after many thanks.

    Well the questions are endless, to start:
    What's it for?
    Will it be static or dynamic?
    What infrastructure will you require (HTML/XHTML/PHP/ASP etc etc)?
    Will you need e-commerce/forums etc?
