Hi,
I have checked the availability of an *.eu domain name and wish to register or purchase it for 1 year with the option to renew however there seems to be lots of companies offering the service and varying in price.
Also, I wish to lease some web hosting so checked out Vidahost as recommended in another thread on the forum re web hosting however, Vidahost charge £19.99 to register an *.eu domain name and it can be obtained at half that cost elsewhere.
Can I register the domain name using a different company than that providing the web hosting then simply get the web hosts server configured with the details? Also, do I get the email addresses for the domain name from the company that registers the domain name or do they come from the web hosting provider?
Having never registered a domain name before or leased web hosting before it's all new to me so I am just a bit in the dark as to what my options are and how I should proceed.
