Domain hosting

[Emu2005]

Hello all,
I am hoping to register a domain name, with the option of setting up a website and potentially an online shop, and I'm not sure which doman name registering company to use. I've found some which have free website set up, but then a couple of others you pay a fee (about �80 for the year) which look good as they have free online shop templates etc, with 24/7 support.

I was just wondering if anyone had used any of these companies and if anyone could recommend one? Am I better off using one of the free website set up things or one where you pay for it? I don't want anything too complicated.

Any advice anyone can give would be appreciated.

Many thanks
Emu

i find easyspace pretty good

get your domain,

initially get a free one page site through their design package and e-mail forwarding etc,

charges are reasonable then on for multi page sites, online shop etc

see www.better-hosting.com
for some reviews of hosting providers and domain name registers, there are also some good articles for getting started with web hosting and design etc - i use hostgator to host and godaddy.com for registration... both of which are really easy to use and offer great support - plus hostgator doesn't have any long tie ins or committments that you get else where which i prefer.
