This place runs on servers at Easyspace

I think if you buy the URL and webspace from them they have an 'easy-web' thing for setting up a simple web site...

99% of domain name providers will sell you a domain with web space. None are hard to use, most come with an idiot's guide. How long you want it for will make a difference to the price. I personally use Nameroute who also host the site for me, provide 20 or so email addresses (web-based email naturally) so you can have an "info@nicksite.com" as well. Only problem is you have to remember to go to the site to check the emails ~ which I seldom do.

Wenchy's knowledge of html is pitiful and limited. She wouldn't presume that her "skill" in that area is chargable.  noooo:

I really need to sort myself out a proper website though.  rubschin: Perhaps domain name purchase and hosting as a Christmas present?  rubschin:

I pay £22 for three years domain registration and hosting. Bigger packages are available at extra costs. Can't refer you to the site as it is down being revamped.
