Where can I buy a Domain name and webspace - cheaply
Hey everyone,
Where can I buy a domain name and webspace but as cheap as possible?
can you give me good suggestions.
would like space to be fair size, not huge, maybe just the same as NTLs sorry virgins 55mb.

I switched from 1&1 (costing me a fortune for web space that, although good, didn't suit my needs any more) to I-Web. Their domains are priced a bit more than most places, but you can get a cheap domain at 123-Reg and point it to your web space. You can get some web space from I-Web from about £1.99 a month.

Exactly what I do, I've been with I-Web for a while, now & since they moved to UK servers I haven't really had any problems & I've found their customer service to be very good. 123-reg are the place to go for co.uk domains.

Re: Where can I buy a Domain name and webspace - cheaply
Have you considered using Dreamhost?
Disk Storage: 160GB
Monthly Bandwidth: 1.6TB
MySQL Databases: unlimited
Free Domain Registrations (.com/.net/.org/.info only)
Price: $119.40 p/year
Discount code: -$90 (use "SAVE90YEAR" when signing-up)
Total price: $29.40 = £15 per year, but this only works for the 1st year, as you can't use the discount code for subsequent years.

Same here, domain from 123-reg & hosting from I-Web, I've had very good services.

From past personal experience with two different websites, I wouldn't touch UK2.net, but that was some years ago and just my experience, don't know what they are like now.
But whoever you choose, one tip I can give you is do not buy your domain & hosting from the same place.
Get your domain and then change the name servers to point to your hosting.

Indeed, UK2 for names and iweb for hosting is how I currently run. Don't like / understand what they are currently doing with mail forwarding though.

Re: Where can I buy a Domain name and webspace - cheaply
just my pennies worth, but i use 1and1 for .co.uk domains (there the cheapest going at £1.99 a year) and i-web for hosting - works well, haven't had any major problems with either

It is interesting how much 'extra' is available when you sign up for a domain name, lately, Ghoti score high in the customer service category, btw

As do 123, Their support has been used on numerous occassions with answers on Saturday and Sunday which is very useful.
