Hi all,

The pc hardware bit is irrelevant really, just said it so you get a better understanding of what i'm trying todo - Im not planning on using OCUK to advertise my site

Guys would it be best to register the domain at 123reg then use another someone else for hosting? or are 123reg ok for that aswell?

Thanks

usually it's better because you don't put all your eggs in one basket - so to speak.

Can you recommend anyone for cheap hosting?

Thanks

Thanks guys,

As I mostly use at the moment auction boards to sell my stuff, i accept all the common online payments etc. Is it easy to set up a credit/debit account so people can pay straight with their cards?

Thanks

If you don't want to use Paypal then you really have to setup a Business Bank account and use something like Worldpay.

I've used Worldpay before and its a great system, but was a pain to get my Bank to send worldpay all the confirmation they wanted that I had a business bank account!

Hi thanks for reply,

I dont mind using online payment methods (I use paypal, nocheck etc now).

But what I also wanted to do was have the ability to pay via card e.g like when you order something from an online store and the money is taken from your bank account.

Thanks
