The idiot being me - i'm a bit of an interweb luddite. Who should i use? I'd want a 'dot com' one i think. And any recommendations on how to get started on web design?

Sorry for the dull question, and thanks in advance.

I've registered a few through www.1and1.co.uk in the past, pretty easy to do .co.uk is cheaper than .com don't know why though???

I've only done basic websites for club use etc... and I just used MS Publisher, fine for my uses, although I'm aware this is far from the best thing to use.

We use [url= http://www.uk2.net/?GCID=S31092x001&keyword=uk2.net&trackingurl=e549645a-a2c7-4baa-b0c7-3bfba763b21e&_$ja=kw:uk2.net|cgn:UK2.NET|cgid:442100632|tsid:5988|cn:UK2+Brand|cid:18540772|lid:166059739|mt:Exact|nw:search|crid:3136110802|bku:1&gclid=CPPessqV4ZoCFQNaFQod_U0vCQ ]uk2.net[/url] for hosting. Seem fairly reasonable.

Web design - I think you can get off-the-shelf stuff or get a web design 'mate' to help. (If you have mates that is with the amount of time you spend surfing off course! :lol:)

I use heart internet for domain registering and hosting. Also, if you are new to web design you can download lots of web templates for free - just google for 'open source web template'. Download a template and then you simply replace parts of the template web pages with your own information - easy... Then you can edit these in your favourite editing software (I use textpad - a free text editor - www.textpad.org).

Wow, thanks everyone. Seems like there's a lot to choose from! Will go and have a look at them all this afternoon.
