I’m thinking of setting up my own website, pretty basic, just for a laugh really and I’d expect to get very few visits to it.
Namecheap.com will register my selected domain name for about a tenner a year and web hosting for another 12 quid or so, I’m a complete novice to all this so ripe for scamming, are they legit and any good or are there better options?
Anything else I’d do better knowing?

As usual, thanks in advance.

There will be many opinions here but I’ve recently been using Krystal. About the same price for domain hosting, and all ssd website hosting. Good support and lightening fast hosting. Eg clearing all caches on a Drupal 7 site – 14 sec elsewhere, 0.8sec on Krystal. I doubt you’ll get the hosting for a £1 a month though.
I’m a fan. YMMV of course.

Have a look at TSO hosts.
