Question

OK folks, I want to set up a website for my company.

Not too fussed about .net or .org, but I'll want .co.uk and .com registrations, email forwarding, site hosting, etc.

Do a search and you get all sorts of companies offering registration, hosting and so on.

My question is: who's good and who should I avoid? How do you tell a good provider? What tricks or cons should I look out for? etc., etc.

All info welcome.

Cheers,
Steve

Forget UK2.net - there are some contractual probs with them - i.e. if you want to move your domain later.

Use either

I've used Lee (http://www.siwd.net) for several hundred domains. 1st class service.

It's not recommended that you try to register domains direct Nominet unless you are a real techie.
