One of the best around IMHO for webspace and email addy's is Dataflame. I know a few people use them (myself included). Not sure what they charge for domain names though?

Thanks Mark, someone else suggested them, so will give them a try.

 

Any one used Supanames.co.uk? Used them last time, but increased the price quite a bit after the two years!

I have 2 sites with http://www.34sp.com

 

This is their pricing structure http://www.34sp.com/hostingfeatures.php

 

I think it was £10 a year for the domain name too

That ones cheap!

 

How can I purchase a domain name indefinatly? or is that something you cant do?

[DerekC]

I'm not sure you can purchase a domain indefinately, you just keep renewing it every two years or so. If you don't renew after this period it will eventually become available for someone else to buy.

 

34SP have just upped the basic webspace package from 30mb to 50mb and the basic package also includes one SQL database.

Is there much difference between service providers or is it just a case of getting the best deal?

[DerekC]

I went on recommendation to 34SP, email/telephone support is very good and they have a forum where most of your problems can be resolved.

 

There can be big differences between service providers, i've just found 34sp to be a good all rounder.

 

If you order a domain name & webspace with 34sp I think it only takes between 2 & 5 days to be fully active too.

 

If you purchase your domain name from elsewhere and then purchase your webspace from another provider you end up having to have your domain name pointed towards your webspace. I found it better to use the one company for both.

I buy domains from http://www.oneandone.co.uk they are cheaper than anywhere i found for .co.uk

 

I've been happy with their hosting, but some people seem not to be. Have also heard good things about dataflame.
