Hope this is the right place.

My dad runs a shoe repairing and locksmithing shop in London. It's pretty small scale and we only need a basic website, so people can see we have a web presensce as well as get contact details and a description of services.

A year ago, my dad went ahead with out consulting me and bought for £600!!! a very basic website from BT!

The domain name is with BT at the moment.

Im thinking of purchasing a some server space and installing wordpress and setting up a website for him.

Firstly, is wordpress ok for this use? Will be 3-4 pages of content. Pretty basic.

Secondly, how do I migrate his existing domain name?

Thirdly, Im thinking of purchasing from these guys. They have a basic package as well as an unlimited one. The basic one doesnt include security features. Do I need it?

How do I play with wordpress without having to buy server space yet?

All content editing in wordpress is done through the browser, and no need to install plugins etc on the local PC?
