I believe Incog uses a generic USERNAME.i-webhosted.co.uk subdomain or something.

I've already offered you a subdomain and some space for nothing. It was your choice not to take up the offer.

Yes this is correct we do offer this service now for those that do not want to have their own domain name which has all the same benefits as the other hosting packages including cpanel pop email address etc.
when signing up just enter username.i-webhosted.co.uk the main advantage of using this is that the site propagates to internet almost instant.

If you register a .co.uk domain, you can very easily "opt out" of having your details in the WhoIs database.

Then, if anyone did a whois check on your domain, the only detail they would get would be your name.

Or...there's the option Incog uses, as Richard & Web Junkie mention above.

there you go Wayne - I would send willie a pm to ask him how that could work for you - as a student, you may be vat exempt, for some stuff, for example.

WNA, when I set up www.battlefieldmaps.co.uk I didn't want to include my personal details.
If you run a whois, it says the owners name is "RoadRunner" and has elected not to have address info displayed

This is simple to do, when you purchase your .co.uk name there should be a tick box for exclusion from the public register. Tick it.

I use 123reg.co.uk for all my domains as they seem to be cheap (9p) and efficient.

It's totally advert free and uploading is a whiz and I get a whopping great space to play with.Also there's loads of email thingys and....well if you are learning I reckon it's a good place to learn.Especially if there is a forum to help.


Still haven't played with the shiney new buttons though.I wonder what that one does?

Be warned though, I can't stop myself from swearing. I haven't touched the CSS yet but to be honest, the default template will do me for now.

Having thought about it, if I give you a subdomain off of one of my domains I wouldn't be able to offer you access to MySQL, I couldn't (and wouldn't) let you have my level of access to the databases on any of my domain names, too risky. You're still better off paying a pound a month to i-web.
