    Clara net or https://www.1and1.co.uk are the best value I've found.

    Can't help you with transferring if domain is not in your name. It doesn't have to be your email address though for you to own it.

    If it is a ".uk" domain , you should go to http://www.nominet.org.uk/ and do a WhoIS search on your domain name (bottom left of page). This will say who owns the domain, which is independent from who administers it for you.

    If it's a ".com" then you should go to https://www.networksolutions.com/cgi-bin/whois/whois
    I love it when a plan comes together :rotfl:

    Cheap hosting I use http://www.dayanahost.com/

    Perfect for small hosting and only £10 - £20 PA defending on space required.

    Your IPSTAG STAYS where it is and you change the nameservers only. That way they dont deal with domain renewals

    happy to chat on phone to help out

    https://www.ukreg.com are probably the best uk domain registry service.. :)

    I know loads of fantastic professional hosts but they're quite expensive offering HUGE amounts of bandwidth and space which you probably won't need..

    erm.. I'm trying to remember the best small host I know of but can't remember their name.. will get back to you..
