Ok so I've got my website hosted with TSO host after reading some recommendations from here. Everything's uploaded and I'm ok with the basics of using the control panel.

Is there anything I should know or is it all fairly simple? There's options like disabling hot-linking and all king of security, which I understand but I'm not sure which ones are essential etc.

Also I have bought the .co.uk domain but I'm unsure whether its worth buying .com aswel for a redirect. The website name is quite specific so no one would really want to copy it but I'm unsure.

Can anyone give a web-hosting virgin some tips?

Thanks :)

I find a lot of people put .com like it is programed in so prob best bet to get both and park it.
 
If you're running a business related website, get the .com/.net/.org as well if they're available.
