Buying a Domain/Affordable Hosting with PHP and MySQL Support.

[slipd]

Hey guys,

I need to register a domain name pretty sharpish – I suspect that a classmate has the same idea in mind!

Any domain sellers that you can vouch for – it’ll be a .co.uk site, so I’d like to get a certificate with my purchase

I have no intention of publishing my site until at least December – Is that still okay? ‘Cyber squatting’ or whatever it’s called, they haven’t banned it or anything?

Also I haven’t found anyone to host my site yet. It’s for my third year project at Uni, so I don’t want it to cost the world, so what can you recommend that’s reasonable.

I’ll need PHP/MySQL support for sure, but I think that’s it as my core requirements go. Anything else would be a bonus

Thanks,

SW.

123-reg.co.uk i have found to be the cheapest for .co.uk's at arround £6 for two years. Yes it is ok to buy a domain and do nothing with it, i have about 10 just sat here doing nothing.

Would they send me a certificate

I really want a certificate

What about email addresses associated with the domain? Eg. [email protected] etc? 123-Reg charges per email, don't some sites give you say 10 or whatever for free when you signup...

Cheers,

SW.

http://www.streamlinenet.co.uk/wh.php

Streamline Unlimited £68 for 2 years of web hosting (everything supported, PHP, MYSQL ect, unlimited storage space and unlimited data transfer

Also includes a free .co.uk domain!!!!

The 'Power' package looks pretty good? And it's only £48 for two years

Plus a Free UK domain AND 10 email addresses!

Would that price include ownership of the domain for two years too? It's not a hidden charge or anything...

What if I bought the domain from another company, would I still be able to get Streamlinenet to host it for me?

Or am I just complicating things
