More information about Domain / Hosting Providers
Two in one you can go with the same company for both your domain and hosting services. This may make it easier, only having to work with one company rather than two.
The service we recommend for this, is UK-Cheapest (click here), as they make it very easy for you to add both domain and hosting packages to your account at the checkout, or you can always add a service at a later date.
Changing your service If you are unhappy with your domain and/or hosting company, you are usually able to transfer your service to another company. You should contact your domain/hosting company for information on this.
Only go with a company you trust as some companies may frequently experience downtime, or have poor customer service. You should research the company first. All companies in the we recommend and others sections above have all been experienced first-hand by us, and all have a good uptime service and good customer service*.
